The lac repressor protein is bound to the operator region of the lac operon when there is no lactose in the medium. When introduced in lactose, it binds to an allosteric site on the repressor causing its to change conformation and release from the operator. This allows the polymerase that is bound to the promoter region to proceed transcription of the lac operon genes (LacZ, Lac A, and Lac Y). Translation of these genes forms enzymes that enable the organism to break down lactose for energy.

When one allele is dominant to another, what is the most common biological mechanism for this dominance?
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

A. Dominant alleles often encode functional products, whereas recessive alleles often do not encode functional products

Explanation:

One gene can have it's variant forms called allele but in one individual only two allele form of a gene can be present. These two allele form can be the same(homozygous) or different(heterozygous). A dominant allele often encode a function protein of product while recessive allele often code for non- functional product.

Therefore when the dominant allele is present in the chromosome then function products are formed which can be seen in the phenotype and even a single dominant allele produce the functional product like in heterozygous condition so phenotype in heterozygous and homozygous dominant condition appears same. So the correct answer is A.

In an experiment, a scientist makes a radioactively labeled probe using viral DNA. She then discovers that the probe hybridizes
JulsSmile [24]

<span>Out of the following given choices;</span>

A. The Geiger counter being used to detect radiation is broken.

B. Two or more samples we accidentally swapped, causing confusion.

C. A virus contaminated the reaction in which the probe was made.

D. The human genome might contain at least one viral gene.

 

The answer is D. This means that the viral DNA inserted itself in the human tissue DNA aand became a prophage. A prophage is a latent form of viral infection where the inserted viral DNA has no interference with the host cell biochemical processes. The prophage will be present in the daughter cells of the host cells.
