Acts as a repressor (inhibits transcription from the lac operon)

Answer:

a. Acts as a repressor (inhibits transcription from the lac operon)

Explanation:

LacI is a repressor protein that plays an important role in lac operon. Lac operon is usually switched off i.e. it is inactive in absence of lactose and presence of glucose. The operon has an operator region, promoter region and structural genes.

In absence of lactose, LacI repressor binds to the operator area. Since operator region overlaps with the promoter region, RNA Polymerase is not able to bind to promoter due to presence of repressor. Transcription of lac operon genes does not take place. When lactose is present, some of it is converted into allolactose. Allolactose binds to LacI repressor making it change its shape. The repressor is no longer able to bind to operator region and RNA Polymerase is free to transcribe the genes making the operon active.

elena-s [515]
The answer to this question would be phantom pain 

An amputated leg sometimes still giving a fell of leg or pain even though the leg wasn't there anymore. That happened because the nerve fiber that carries the stimulus from that area is still alive. Something might induce the remnant of the nerve to send a signal of pain but the brain interprets the location to be in the removed limb.

1. Two genetically identical copies of DNA

2. Finds an error in DNA, removes the incorrect nucleotide and replaces it with a correct one.

3. It is used as a copy/ "template" for replication in order to have two identical copies of DNA.

4. DNA helicase unwinds DNA double helix and Topiosomerase ensure there isn't too much unwinding.

5. Replication has a built on proofreading system - DNA polymerase removes the incorrect nucleotide and replaces it with a correct one.
