An amino acid is synthesized by the prokaryote, E coli. The genes for the enzymes responsible for synthesizing this amino acid a

re encoded in an operon. The operon is regulated by a repressor. When the amino acid binds to the repressor, the repressor changes shape so it can bind to the operator. Which of the following statements is true?
A) When levels of the amino acid are high, it binds to the repressor, allowing synthesis of this amino acid to proceed.
B) When levels of the amino acid are low, it binds to the repressor, allowing synthesis of this amino acid to proceed...

The statement "When levels of the amino acid are high, it binds to the repressor, allowing synthesis of this amino acid to proceed" (A).

E. coli needs amino acids to survive. It can ingest the amino acid, Tryptophan from the environment. When the levels of Tryptophan are low, it can synthesize Tryptophan by using enzymes that are encoded in five genes. These genes lie next to each other in the tryptophan operon. If tryptophan is available in the environment, E. coli will not synthesize it.

fiasKO [112]

The change in weather pattern caused forest to become sparse and hot weather caused the reduction of apes as they had less food and difficulty in surviving the climate.

Explanation:

In Miocene epoch volcanic mountain chains were created in Central Africa which abruptly changed the local weather.

The sea-level got drop due to global cooling of that time.

This resulted in continental drift making land connection of Africa with Eurasia.

The primates started migrating through this route.

The African forest become dry causing selective pressures in primates.

The cooler climate in Eurasia caused extinction and migration of primates to Africa in late Miocene epoch.

The hot and humid climate and less woodland caused a reduction in number of apes which were replaced by modern world monkeys.

Describe an environmental factor that could influence natural selection and increase genetic diversity.
Valentin [98]
I still didn't learn that but a guess would be Climate is a long-term model of weather in specific location or place. Thus, aspects of climate that are most important to forest ecosystem is the temperature and precipitation. Because. <span>1.  Temperature determines the adaptable and environmental influences such as the sunlight, the biotic community and especially the photosynthetic mechanisms of plants which is responsible for making its own food.</span> <span>2. <span> Precipitation. Water is vital in many aspects of plants since it is one of the materials needed for plant’s food-making process.<span>
