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.
An hypothesis is a possible explanation for a set of observations or answer to a scientific question. A supposition or proposed explanation made on the
basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further
investigation.
And practically, an hypothesis is used as the basis for further experiments, where the hypothesis is rigorously tested under varying conditions. The hypothesis that is tested and modified under different conditions may become a general
theory
.The hypothesis that has the least number of variables sufficient to explain the phenomenon is preferred.
Answer:
<em>The genotype of the plant will be PpSs and the phenotype will be purple colour and smooth shaped. </em>
Explanation:
Considering the description in the question, we know that purple colour is dominant over the yellow colour and smooth shape is dominant over the wrinkled shape.
A homozygous trait can be described as a trait which arises due to the same alleles of a gene. A heterozygous trait arises when both the alleles of a gene are different. In such a case, one allele will be dominant over the other one and the phenotype of the dominant allele will be seen in the plant. As purple colour and smooth shape are dominant traits, hence they will be seen in the heterozygous plant.
<em>B. Has the same allele on both chromosomes in a chromosome pair. </em>
<u>Here is why:</u>
Homozygous means the same, while heterozygous means different. If both of the same alleles are on both chromosomes, then it will be a homozygous.
There can be two types of homozygous alleles.
~
<em>Homozygous Dominant</em>: BB
<em>Homozygous Recessive</em>: bb
<u>Notice in both of these they were the same alleles.</u>
~
<em>Heterozygous</em>: Bb
<u>Notice how both are different alleles.</u>

Below I have attached a diagram of a Punnett square I have made.
On the left is a homozygous recessive allele pair.
On the top is a heterozygous allele pair.
