A species of beetle expresses a pigment protein as an adult but not as a juvenile. The pigment is encoded by the gene PIG. A pro

tein called KID, which is only present in juveniles, is a transcription factor that binds to the DNA near the protein-coding sequence for PIG. Do you think KID is a negative regulator of PIG or a positive regulator? Why?
Some individuals in the species never express the pigment (neither as a juvenile or as an adult). Do you think they have a mutation in the KID gene, the KID binding site, or in the protein-coding part of the PIG gene? Why? (the ‘why’ part of the question will only be used to help us give possible credit for answers different than what we think is the clearest answer)

Answer:

The KID protein is responsible for the no pigmentation at the juvenile stage. When the KID protein inhibits in the adult state, the pigmentation occurs in the body. This might occur because the KID protein acts as the repressor molecule and acts as a negative regulator of PIG protein.

The KID protein is responsible for pigmentation an adult stage.  Any mutation in the KID gene might result in the loss of pigmentation in the adult. The KID gene is responsible for the binding of the KID protein and mutation in this gene can lead to the arrest of KID protein. The protein is unable to release and PIG continuously repressed in the adults.

wlad13 [49]
Every organism in an ecosystem relies on other species for survival: Species diversity. An ecosystem is a b<span>iological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. The survival of one species therefore depends on the survival of other species.</span><span>

Reduced options for mates can lead to inbreeding: Genetic diversity. Inbreeding occurs when closely related individuals breed, and this can lead to the expression of undesirable traits such as those associated with recessive genes.

Decreased diversity can lead to increased susceptibility to disease: Genetic diversity. This is related to inbreeding. The expression of recessive genes can decrease the overall fitness of a species and increase its susceptibility to disease. 

The loss of a producer could result in the loss of consumers: Species diversity. This is related to the concept of an ecosystem. Consumers rely on producers as a food source. 

When a population becomes small, diversity is lost: Genetic diversity. This is commonly known as the 'founder effect'.</span>
