Tryptophan is an amino acid necessary for E. coli survival and growth. E. coli contain genes coding for enzymes that synthesize

tryptophan. These genes are grouped together on a segment of DNA called the tryptophan (trp) operon. Cells can use these enzymes to synthesize tryptophan when it is not present in the environment. However, when tryptophan is already present in the environment, cellular resources are shifted away from manufacturing the enzymes for tryptophan synthesis. Tryptophan binds with and activates the trp repressor, which then binds to the trp promoter and blocks RNA polymerase. Blocking RNA polymerase decreases the normal transcription rate of the operon. The tryptophan (trp) operon consists of a promoter, an operator, and 5 trp genes. What type of regulation does the trp operon exhibit? protein modification positive regulation negative regulation translational regulation

Answer:

Negative regulation

Explanation:

In the trp operon, tryptophan binds to the repressor protein, then this complex binds to operator effectively blocking gene transcription preventing the production of enzymes that aids in the synthesis of tryptophan. This happens when high levels of tryptophan is detected. This, it is a  repressible/negative type of regulation.

Which of the following characteristics are true for an action potential?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

I, II, III

Explanation:

A threshold stimulus is a stimulus that is capable to produce a response in excitable tissues such as neurons and muscle fibers. At threshold potential, the outward movement of K+ and inward movement of Na+ become equal to each other. When the potential exceeds the threshold potential, more and more Na+ enter the cell to depolarize it and to allow the opening of Na+ channels. Therefore, to fire an action potential, the threshold must be exceeded.

Conduction of action potential is all or none phenomenon which means that either it occurs or it does not occur. As an impulse is passed by each successive part of an exon, it enters the refractory period during which there is no conduction of nerve impulse. It ensures the one-way conduction of impulse from the cell body to the axon terminal only.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive trait that causes a fatal lung disorder, with symptoms beginning in early childhood. A healt
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis is a recessive disorder and therefore, is expressed only in homozygous recessive genotype. Let's assume that the allele "c" is responsible for the disease in the homozygous state. Since the couple already has a child with cystic fibrosis (cc), they both are heterozygous carriers for the disease.

The genotype of male and female each is "Cc". A cross between Cc x Cc gives progeny in the following phenotype ratio=1/4 diseased: 1/2 normal carriers: 1/4 normal. Therefore, the probability of getting a diseased child for them is 1/4.
