Explanation:
Because the theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's solid outer crust, the lithosphere, is separated into plates that move over the asthenosphere, the molten upper portion of the mantle.
Answer:
Operons afford the organism the opportunity to simultaneously regulate transcription of multiple genes, whose products are active in the same process.
Explanation:
Operon is the group of related genes and the operator and promoter sequences that regulate their expression. All the genes in an operon are expressed together and are under the regulation of the same promoter and operator sequences.
Operons consist of the genes that are involved in related metabolic pathways. For example, the genes that code for the enzymes of lactose catabolism are expressed together as lac operon. It allows simultaneous expression of the genes of lactose catabolism only when lactose is present in the medium. Similarly, these genes are inhibited simultaneously in absence of lactose by binding of repressor protein to the operator sequence.
