Answer:
Due to less steps and requires less energy.
Explanation:
The bacterial cell is able to use glucose first as an energy source then switch to lactose because glucose requires less steps and less amount of energy for the break down as compared to lactose. If lactose is the only sugar available to the bacterial cells, then bacterial cells will use it as energy source for the production of energy. In order to use lactose, the bacteria must express the lac operon genes, which encode the main enzymes for lactose uptake and metabolism.
Metabolism- This chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to sustain life.
<h2>
The correct answer is explained below:</h2>
Explanation:
- According to the question, free ear lobes are dominant over attached ear lobes.
- Let the allele for free ear lobes be represented by F.
- Let the allele for attached ear lobes be represented by f.
- The genotype of the homozygous recessive woman (mother) having attached ear lobes is : ff.
- The gamete produced by the woman is: f.
- The genotype of the heterozygous man (father) with free earlobes is: Ff.
- The gametes produced by the man are: F and f.
- Mating the man with the woman we get the following offspring,
F f
f Ff ff
Phenotype Free ear lobe Attached ear lobe
- The genotype and the phenotype of the probable children obtained is represented in the Punnett square above.
- The probability that the parents would produce children with attached ear lobes is =
