Answer: The lac Y and lac Z genes are turned off when lactose is present. Is a false statement about E coli and the lac operon. Therefore the correct option is A.

Explanation:

Escherichia coli is an enteric bacteria that makes use of lactose operon (or lac operon) for its lactose metabolism. The lac operon is made up of three genes which includes lacZ, lacY and Lac A. These genes are expressed only when lactose is present and glucose is absent. Also the lac repressor acts as a lactose sensor while the catabolite activation protein (CAP) acts as a glucose sensor. They help in turning on and off the genes with respect to lactose and glucose levels.

The lac Y and lac Z genes are turned off (not expressed) when glucose is present and lactose absent, but are expressed when glucose is absent and lactose present. Therefore option A is a false statement.

A jogger runs by a river with a velocity of 7 m s relative to the ground. A leaf floating on the river moves with a velocity of
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The velocity of the leaf relative to the jogger is 5 m/s.                    

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of jogger wrt to the ground, V_j=7\ m/s

velocity of leaf wrt the ground, v_i=2\ m/s

We need to find the velocity of the leaf relative to the jogger. Let it is equal to V. So, it is given by :

V=v_j-v_i\\\\V=7-2\\\\V=5\ m/s

So, the velocity of the leaf relative to the jogger is 5 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A child with a weight of 430 N rides on a Ferris wheel, which has a radius of 17 m, and the linear velocity of the 3.5 m/s at an
Murrr4er [49]

At the lowest point on the Ferris wheel, there are two forces acting on the child: their weight of 430 N, and an upward centripetal/normal force with magnitude n; then the net force on the child is

∑ F = ma

n - 430 N = (430 N)/g • a

where m is the child's mass and a is their centripetal acceleration. The child has a linear speed of 3.5 m/s at any point along the path of the wheel whose radius is 17 m, so the centripetal acceleration is

a = (3.5 m/s)² / (17 m) ≈ 0.72 m/s²

and so

n = 430 N + (430 N)/g (0.72 m/s²) ≈ 460 N

You have 0.5 l of air at a pressure of 203 kpa and -70°c in a rigid, sealed contaainer. what is the absolute tempertaure of the
ANTONII [103]
From the information given and if the question is complete then;
Absolute temperature is the temperature in Kelvin
To convert degree Celsius to kelvin we normally add 273
that is Kelvin = deg Celsius + 273
Thus since we have been given that the air was at -70 degrees celcius;
then; - 70° C  + 273 = 203 K
 Therefore; the absolute temperature is 203 K

A 06-C charge and a .07-C charge are apart at 3 m apart. What force attracts them?
Andru [333]

Answer:

F = 37.8 × 10^(6) N

Explanation:

The charges are 0.06 C and 0.07 C.

Thus;

Charge 1; q1 = 0.06 C

Charge 2; q2 = 0.07 C

Distance between them; r = 3 m

Formula for the force in between them is;

F = kq1•q2/r²

Where k is a constant = 9 × 10^(9) N.m²/C²

Thus;

F = (9 × 10^(9) × 0.06 × 0.07)/3²

F = 37.8 × 10^(6) N
