Answer:
An amino acid activates the repressor so that the repressor binds to the operator and prevents transcription.
Explanation:
In an operon, promoter is followed by operator which is finally followed by the structural genes to be transcribed. RNA Polymerase binds to the promoter and initiates transcription. A repressor can negatively control the transcription process by binding to the operator so that the RNA Polymerase is not able to move forward and transcription is halted.
For example: in trp operon, tryptophan amino acid binds to the repressor molecule which leads to change in repressor's shape. The repressor is now able to bind to the operator and prevent transcription.
But an egg or sperm only has one. That one is chosen at random, through a process called meiosis. When meiosis messes up, you can end up with to many or too few chromosomes. One extra chromosome in a egg or sperm means three in the fertilized egg and so trisomy.
Answer:
Skin has three layers: The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. The dermis, beneath the epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands. The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made of fat and connective tissue.
