Under which conditions are the lac structural genes expressed most efficiently?

Biology
1 answer:
madam [21]3 years ago
4 0

Lac genes are most effectively expressed in presence of Lactose and its analogs when glucose is absent.

Explanation:

A unit of prokaryotic gene expression and regulation,which includes structural genes and regulatory sequences recognized by regulatory gene product is called operon.

<em>Lac </em>structural genes are a part of<em> Lac</em> operon. The <em>Lac </em>operon consists of three, structural genes,an operator and a promoter.The product of Lac operon is involved in the conversion of disaccharide lactose into glucose and Galactose.

Lactose and its analogs are inducers of<em> Lac </em>operon. So, the structural genes are best expressed in presence of Lactose. Glucose and galactose are repressors of lac gene so the genes are repressed in presence of glucose.

What is the role of mitosis in regenerating tissue
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Replacement and regeneration of new cells- Regeneration and replacement of worn-out and damaged tissues is a very important function of mitosis in living organisms. Mitosis helps in the production of identical copies of cells and thus helps in repairing the damaged tissue or replacing the worn-out cells.

Muscle tissue in the body is made up of a group of what working together to perform a common function.
storchak [24]

Muscle tissue is comprised of groups of muscle cells, laid out in differing organizations depending on the muscle tissue type. For skeletal muscle tissue, the muscle tissue works together to push or pull the skeleton and move the organism conciously. For smooth muscle, the muscle tissue works together to push, pull, or constrict various structures unconciously. An example of smooth muscle is the muscles involved in pushing food through the esophagus. For cardiac muscle, the muscle tissue works together to pump the entire heart in tandem.

explain how complete dominance, co dominance, incomplete dominance, and sex linked traits are inherited and expressed differentl
dlinn [17]
<span> COMPLETE DOMINANCE:
</span>
<span>Mendel concluded that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive. When one dominant allele is present, it's enough to make the recessive allele unexpressed (this is what happens in heterozygous individuals). In other words, it 'hides' or masks the recessive allele.

CO-DOMINANCE:

-a condition in which both alleles are dominant.
</span>
There are alleles that have the capacity of dominating at the same time, and when an organism is heterozygotic, both alleles are expressed.
For example, a white chicken(WW) crossed with a black chicken (BB):  100% of the offspring being WB. With this genotype, they have black feathers and white feathers.
It's not a blend of colors, but a case where both are expressing.

INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE:
-a condition with none of the alleles is dominant or recessive, so the traits blend in the phenotype.

Some alleles are not completely dominant, and when that's the case the phenotype of a heterozygous organism will be a mix between the phenotypes of its homozygous parents.

For example:
plant 1: RR -red
plant 2: rr- white

By crossing this plants we will obtain 100%  of the offspring with a color mix: pink.(genotype: Rr)
Red and white are not completely dominating so it results in a blend of colors.

SEX LINKED TRAITS

Sex chromosomes contain genes that determine the sex of a person. Two X chromosomes result in a female and one X plus a Y result in a male.

In those chromosomes, there are genes specific for each gender, and in those chromosomes, there are genes that code for certain traits- the sex-linked traits.
These traits will be inherited according to the sex chromosomes they receive from their parents.
