Answer:

An operon consists of a group of genes which are controlled by a single promoter.

The lac operon present in the E.coli comprises of genes for making proteins which  breakdown lactose into glucose.

Normally, the lac operon will be turned of by a repressor when there is not enough lactose present.

When lactose is present in the cell, the operon is activated when lacl forms a bond with the promoter region due to its changes in the structure. This causes the process of transcription to occur.

<h2>The Forearm</h2>

Explanation:

The proximal end of the radius illustrates the relationship of form and function. The cup-like surface of the radial head articulates with the rounded shape of the capitulum. This forms a joint that allows for movement of elbows and forearms.

Radius and ulna are the two bones of the forearm.  Their proximal ends articulate and fit into the cup like end of the humerus. This forms a synovial joint called the elbow joint.  The movement of this joint allows the forearms to supinate and pronate.
