Operons are made of two or more genes that are located near each other in a sequence of DNA. Some operons allow for regulation o

f the expression of proteins at the transcriptional level. As a result, some operons are inducible, while others repressible. Which of the following represents an inducible operon? a. The production of enzymes that allow for the fermentation of the sugar lactose when it becomes available in the culture medium b. The enzymes needed for glucose metabolism are always produced at a constant level. c. Proteases break down proteins when they are no longer necessary. d. The discontinued production of the enzymes needed to synthesize the amino acid tryptophan if it is added to the growth medium

Answer:

a. The production of enzymes that allow for the fermentation of the sugar lactose when it becomes available in the culture medium

Explanation:

When an operon that is normally not expressed and remains inactive since a repressor molecule is attached to its operator, it is said to be an inducible operon. The transcription of the operon is activated when an inducer binds to the repressor. This binding does not allow the repressor protein to bind to the operator. The operon is transcribed by RNA polymerase.

When lactose is present in the medium, the lac operon is expressed.  Some of the lactose is converted into allolactose. Allolactose binds to the repressor and makes it unable to bind to the operator. This makes it an inducible operon.

Describe the Earth's crust, mantle and core. Include the thickness, composition, temperature and pressure of each layer in your
Alja [10]
Earth's crust is generally divided into older, thicker continental crust and younger, denser oceanic crust..The crust is made of solid rocks and minerals.

The mantle lies between Earth's dense, super-heated core and its thin outer layer, the crust. The mantle is about 2,900 kilometers (1,802 miles) thick, and makes up 84% of Earth's total volume.

The core lies beneath the cool, brittle crust and the mostly-solid mantle. ... Earth's core is the very hot, very dense center of our planet. The ball-shaped core lies beneath the cool, brittle crust and the mostly-solid mantle.1

What did Jean-Baptiste Lamarck believe about traits such as large muscles that are acquired during one's lifetime?
Kipish [7]

<span>The answer is they can be passed on to offspring.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>In his theory, Lamarck proposed how species adapted to the changed environment by passing down acquired physical traits to the next generation. But, after Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution, Lamarck's theory was rejected. Now, it is known that acquired physical traits could not be inherited and epigenetics is a good proof for that.</span>
