Answer: D) cAMP

Explanation:

In the absence of glucose cell can make use of other sources of carbohydrates such as lactose. In E. Coli and other bacteria utilization of lactose depends on the availability of cAMP. Bacteria accumulate cAMP only when starved. When glucose is exhausted, cAMP is available in plenty.

cAMP is necessary for the gene expression because it binds catabolite repressor protein (CAP) to form CAP-cAMP complex. CAP is a lac repressor the binds to the operator site of the lac operon preventing RNAP From binding to the promoter.

RNA polymerase can bind to the promoter site only when CAP-cAMP formed

to maintain a line of pure-breeding peas , selective breeders would use a technique called __________.
Basile [38]
To maintain a line of pure-breeding peas, selective breeders would use a technique called artificial cross-pollination. This is a technique were breeders transfer pollen from the anthers of one pea plant (male parent) to a stigma of a flower (female parent).

This technique was developed by Gregor Mendel, the founder of the science of genetics. He was a monk who dedicated his time in research about how genes of plants are carried over through specific species. In his controlled experiment he used the pea plant because they are cheap and readily available from merchants who sold them in different classifications. He also used pea plants because they have the capacity to self-pollinate or cross-pollinate.

Speculate as to how the information obtained from the sequencing of the human genome might be used to someday eliminate inborn e
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sequencing the human genome is the function of the human genome project with the goal of determining the base pairs/order of DNA nucleotides that make up human genome, and also identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome both from the physical level and its functions in molecular medicine. The benefits in this field could allow for better diagnosis of disease, early detection of certain diseases, and gene therapy and control systems for drugs.

Inborn errors of metabolism are rare genetic (inherited) disorders where the body cannot properly digest and turn food into energy through the normal pathway. The disorders are usually caused by mutations in specific enzymes that help in the break down of these foods.

Through the study of the human genome, sequences involved in these mutations giving rise to these disorders are identified and mapped to their variuos locations. This can help in the early diagnosis of the disorders and effective control system for drugs and gene therapy against these disorders.

Explain how increased CO2 in the atmosphere results in greater acidification of oceans and describe the effect on marine organis
marishachu [46]

Answer:

When carbondioxide gas is emitted from vehicles and industries and goes upward in the atmosphere. The carbondioxide gas combines with the rain water forming an acid called carbonic acid and make the rain acidic.

When rainfall occurs this acid comes to the ground and ocean and adversely affected the living organisms due to acidic nature. The marine animal's body comprise of shell and skeleton. This skeleton and shell are made from calcium, when acidification of ocean water occurs, the calcium dissolved and the body of animals are destroyed.
