For each region of the lac operon on the F' plasmid, I+ P+ Oc Z− Y+ , determine whether the region is wild type (that is, it pro

duces a functional protein or it's a correct protein binding sequence) or whether the region is mutated. Select all that apply :
(A) The promoter sequence is correct/functional.
(B) The repressor protein is produced.
(C) The operator sequence is correct/functional.
(D) Beta-galactosidase is produced from the lacZ gene.
(E) Permease is produced from the lacY gene.

Answer:

A,B and E

Explanation:

  • I+: I refers to the lac repressor, the + indicates that the repressor is functional
  • P+:  P refers to the promoter region and the + indicates that the promoter is functional
  • Oc:  O refers to the operator region, but the Oc indicates that the operator is constitutive ie. that it is always on/ can't be turned off.
  • Z-: Z refers to the LacZ gene which produces β-galactosidase. Z- indicates that this gene is non-functional
  • Y+:  Y refers to the LacY gene which produces the permease protein. Y+ indicates that this gene is functional

So based on the breakdown above:

  • A is true because P+.
  • B is true because I+.
  • C is not true because the lac operon is an inducible system. The operator needs to be able to be repressed. In this case the operator is constitutive (always on)  which is not the correct form.
  • D is not true because Z-, no β-galactosidase is produced.
  • E is true because Y+.

Only A, B and E apply.

An organism is described as 2n = 48.A) How many chromatids per chromosome are in one meiotic cell during prophase 2?B) How many
Alex

Answer:

A) 48

B) 96

C) 48

D) 48

Explanation:

Attached is a table summarizing the number of chromosomes and chromatids in the different stages of mitosis and meiosis in humans who are described as 2n = 46.

For the organism which is described as 2n = 48, substitute 46 in the table for 48 to get the appropriate figures.

Why is a high use of renewable energy necessary to make hydrogen fuel an environmentally sound alternative?
Elan Coil [88]
Hydrogen is similar to electricity. Although an electric vehicle, for an example, doesn't create any tail pipe emissions from the vehicle, that may not be the case where the electricity was made. If the electricity was made from an old, smoking, worn out gasoline powered generator in order to charge the electric vehicle, the total pollution created would be much more than that made by a regular gasoline car. However, if the electricity is made by an environmentally friendly renewable source, such as solar or wind, then the total pollution created in powering the electric vehicle would be much less, perhaps even zero. 

<span>Hydrogen can be made from electricity or petroleum. If made from petroleum it wouldn't be much different than gasoline because the rest of the petroleum would have to be used somewhere. If the hydrogen is made from electricity then the question again is where is the electricity being made. </span>

<span>Your question is also a good one because it highlights the "high use" of renewable energy. The production and use of hydrogen in less efficient than running just off of electricity. So you'd have to produce a whole lot more electricity to make hydrogen to drive a car a certain distance than to charge a battery-electric car and drive the same distanc</span>
