Ans.

Lac (lactose) operon in a type of bacterial operon, which shows a cluster of genes that are regulated by a single promoter. It is composed of an operator, promoter, a terminator, and three structural genes (lacA, lacY, and lacZ), which are responsible for the transport and breakdown of lactose.

The lac operon is an inducible operon as it gets activated in the presence of lactose and expressed its functional genes in the form of proteins (or enzymes) for lactose metabolism.  

Thus, the correct answer to be fill in first blank is 'inducible' and in second blank is 'lactose.'

Lyrx [107]
The answers are:

- very high humidity
- vines
- palms
- highest species diversity 
- gorillas 

Rainforests have very high humidity because it rains throughout the whole year and is constant summer, so the precipitation and high temperature contribute to very high humidity.
The rainforests have the highest species diversity of any biome, both animals, and plants, including plants like the vines that crawl on the other trees and the palms, as well as animals like the gorilla in Africa, in the Congo basin.

Which of the following is a nucleoside analog commonly used as a reverse transcriptase inhibitor in the treatment of HIV?
Over [174]

Answer:

Azidothymidine

Explanation:

Azidothymidine (AZT) is one of the nucleoside analogs that is used in the treatment of AIDS as it inhibits the process of reverse transcription of HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus).

The HIV replicates by making DNA copies of RNA through the process of reverse transcription. The process is driven by enzyme reverse transcriptase. Azidothymidine (AZT) serves to inhibit the activity of reverse transcriptase enzyme and thereby does not allow HIV to reproduce.
