What is the role of glucose in catabolite repression? What is the role of glucose in catabolite repression?

Biology
1 answer:
Ierofanga [76]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

It decreases the levels of cAMP in the cell, repressing transcription from the lac operon.

Explanation:

When glucose is absent, cAMP serves as coactivator binds to CRP, the catabolite gene activator protein. The CRP-cAMP complex binds to the site near the lac promoter and stimulates the expression of the operon by RNA polymerase many folds.

Catabolite repression refers to inhibition of the synthesis of enzymes of lactose catabolism when glucose is present as an energy source. In the presence of glucose, synthesis of cAMP is inhibited resulting in its lower cellular concentration. The lower cAMP levels do not allow the binding of cAMP and CRP. The result is reduced expressed of lac operon.

Why is the microscope important to the study of microlife?

Wait this is highschool biology?! 
Woah... thought it would be harder....


Anyways, see "micro" means really small, so small that your bare eyesight can't take it (or see it, I don't care). A microscope was meant to see things that our eyes can't. Since humans cant see microlife we use a microscope.

A trait I which the alleles are not dominant over one another
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

They are co-dominance and incomplete dominance.

<h2 />

Explanation:

Co-dominance occurs when both alleles in a heterozygous genotype for a trait are both equally expressed. An example is the human AB blood group, in which both the A and B alleles are equally expressed.

Incomplete dominance occurs when the heterozygous genotype for a trait is expressed as a blend. An example is blue feather color in chickens, in which a black allele and white allele together are expressed as blue feather color.
