How do the characteristics of living things contribute to an organism's survival?

Biology
1 answer:
givi [52]3 years ago
5 0
Any characteristic, whether a physical trait, a behaviour, a physiological adaptation etc can make an organism more or less likely to survive in a particular environment. 

A dark colour could help a rabbit survive if it lives in a dark forest, because predators can't see it so well, but it would be less likely to survive in the arctic, where the environment is all white and it would show up. 

In terms of the characteristics, think about: does it help the organism get food? Does it help protect the organism from predators? If it does, that organism is more likely to survive, and pass the characteristic on to it's offspring. If a bacterium has a characteristic of not being killed by antibiotics, this will help it to survive and breed.

explain how repressible and inducible operons differ and how those differences reflect differences in the pathways they control
Sonja [21]

Answer

Operons are cluster of coordinated genes, including structural genes, an operator gene, and a regulatory gene.

Explanation:

In the The repressible operons, The transcription is usually on and repressor is in inactive form, So the specific genes are transcribed. While a regulatory molecule act as corepressor and binds to repressor protein to activate it. The repressor protein cause the inactivation of repressible operon (as the name indicate). E.g., Tryptophan Repress the trp operon.

A high level of product act as regulatory molecule (Corepressor) and turn off the operon, So anabolic pathways or synthesis of essential components are controlled by repressible operon.

In the Inducible operons, the transcription is usually off and repressor is in active form. So there is no transcription of genes. Specific Metabolite cause the activation of operon  e.g lactose cause the induction of lac operon.

As a metabolite induces the operon, So they control the Metabolic pathways or breakdown of a neutrient.
