Answer:

d. Genes that play a role in the same metabolic pathway are organized into an operon.

Explanation:

In prokaryotic organisms like bacteria, polycistronic mRNAs exist which means that each gene does not have a separate promoter of its own. In fact many genes are under the control of a single promoter. These genes being a part of same metabolic pathway are organized into an operon. For example, lac operon and tryptophan operon. In lac operon, three genes named as β-galactosidase, permease and transacetylase are expressed under a single promoter which is known as lac promoter.

In contrast to this, in eukaryotes the mRNAs are monocistronic i.e. only a single gene is controlled under a single promoter.

ANEK [815]
<span>Ian Waterman was able to sense pain and temperature because his spinothalamic pathway was intact, but could not feel touch and limb position because of damage to his lemniscus pathway. </span>

The lateral spinothalamic tract is a sensory pathway which carries sensory information like pain and temperature to the brain, across the thalamus. Free nerve endings which are located in the peripheral tissues are sensitive to cell damage. Those are primary neurons and they pass the sensory signal. Primary neurons synapse with secondary which are located in the spinal cord (white matter). These secondary neurons will ascend through the brainstem, medulla oblongata, pons and midbrain, until synapsing in the ventroposteriorlateral (VPL) nucleus of the thalamus. From the thalamus, the information is sent to cortex (somatosensory cortex).

Posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway is ascending spinal tract, carrying sensory information to the brain (sensory pathway). It conducts localized sensations of fine touch, vibration and proprioception (position sense) from the skin and extremities (muscles) to the central nervous system (cerebral cortex).

When an ecosystem loses biodiversity how does it change
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

A decrease in biodiversity causes a decrease in ecosystem stability, because a change to one organism will have a greater impact on the entire ecosystem. With greater biodiversity, the loss of one type of organism could be moderated by the adaptation of other organisms to fill its role.
