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.

What can scientists use to determine the type of plant an organism consumed?
Agata [3.3K]
Answer: Carbon 12 and Carbon 13

In plant, the ratio of carbon 12 and carbon 13 isotopes is different depending upon the plant photosynthesis. The distribution of these isotopes in plant tissue can indicate the path way of carbon metabolism that is either C3 fixation or C4 fixation. This help scientist to know if the plant consumed by organism is C3 plant or C4 plant by measuring the isotopic signature of their collagen and other tissues.

This can help scientist know which plant is consumed by animals.

What is the ph of a substance with a hydroxide{OH] of 10-6
Reptile [31]
POH = - log[OH^-]
pOH = - log[10^-6]
pOH = - (-6)
pOH = 6

knowing the ionization equation between pH and pOH in a solution at T = 25 degrees Celsius.

pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - pOH
pH = 14 - (6)
pH = 8.

I believe the pH of a substance with 10^-6 M of OH, would be 8.

Identify two means by which meiosis results in genetically unique gametes, and explain why this is important.
Rashid [163]

Explanation:

Meiosis is beneficial as it produces gametes that are genetically different to the parent cell, and when the gametes combine the offspring produced is made from combination of genes from both mother and father. The offspring is genetically unique, there is no other organism on the Earth with the exact same DNA sequences on their chromosomes.
