<u>Answer</u>: operator

Operons are the functioning units of a gene within a certain DNA segment. The operator within an operon represents a DNA segment to which an activated repressor protein binds to. When this occurs, the transcription is prevented.  

By controlling the operon, an organism is capable of regulation the expression on various genes. This is prompted by different environmental factors.

Operators

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <u><em>Operator is the regulatory switch which is a segment of DNA, usually positioned within the promoter. </em></u>
  • <u><em>An Operon is the entire stretch of DNA that includes the operator, the promoter, and the genes that they control.  it is a set of genes transcribed under the control of an operator gene. An operon is a functional unit of transcription and genetic regulation. </em></u>
  • The promoter is the binding site for RNA polymerase, the enzyme that performs transcription. The operator is a regulatory site bound by a repressor protein.

Answer:Asexual Reproduction Sexual Reproduction

Advantages Time Efficient; no need to search for mate, requires less energy Variation, Unique., organism is more protected

Disadvantages No variation - if the parent has a genetic disease, offspring does too. Requires two organisms, requires more energy

Explanation:While asexual reproduction only involves one organism, sexual reproduction requires both a male and a female. Some plants and unicellular organisms reproduce asexually. Most mammals and fish use sexual reproduction. Some organisms like corals and komodo dragons can reproduce either sexually or asexually. But in the long term (over several generations), lack of sexual reproduction compromises their ability to adapt to the environment because they do not benefit from the genetic variation introduced by sexual reproduction

Ber [7]
Since the cell is in a shoebox, we can assume this cell is a plant cell. the balloon most likely represents the vacuole, which is the largest organelle in the plant cell. the marbles could represent ribosomes, but ribosomes aren’t the only round organelle so i’m not sure about that one.

2. Arrange these organisms into a food web:
Serjik [45]

Explanation:

A food web shows how organisms in a community prey and feed on each other (feeding relationships). It is composed of many interconnected food chains. In addition, it, therefore, shows how energy is transferred up an ecosystem from the primary producers (in this case the trees and grass) to the tertiary consumers (in this case the hawks and wolves).
