The correct answer is: c. An operon is a region of DNA that codes for a series of functionally related genes under the control of the same promoter.

Operons contain cluster of genes that are transcribed together into mRNA or are not expressed at all. Formed mRNA undergos splicing to create monocistronic mRNAs so that can be translated separately. Operons are more often found in prokaryotic cells but it can appear in eukaryotic cells and in viruses.

The kidney is considered a major homeostatic organ because it maintains the balance of what substances in the blood?
enyata [817]

The kidney is considered a major homeostatic organ because it maintains the balance of water, ions, and electrolytes in the blood.

Kidneys extract wastes and excess fluid from the body, kidneys also remove acid that is created by the cells in the body and sustain a healthy equilibrium of salts, water, and minerals like sodium, potassium, calcium, and phosphorus in the blood.

Each kidney consists of almost a million filtering units called nephrons. Every nephron has a filter, called the tubule, and a glomerulus. The nephrons function via a two-step process, the glomerulus purifies the blood, and the tubule returns required substances to the blood and clears wastes.

A fictional bacterial operon is responsible for the production of the biosynthetic enzymes needed to make the theoretical amino
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

a. The operon is under positive control

a.) Loss of enzyme synthesis results from loss of regulatory R gene product which is regulated in the presence of Tis ophane for transcription. Absence of (Tis), transcription is positively controlled by regulatory Rprotein

b.) The proposed model reveals Tis / B complex prevents Tis enzymes from undergoing transcription through the RB operator by binding to the B region

the role of the R protein is

-decrease affinity of Tis / B complex to B region of RB

-bind to the R region on RB

- change the conformation of B region

- yield decreased affinity of Tis / B complex when R gene is lacking preventing transcription in the process

Effects of the RB mutations is that R protein will not bind to Tis / B complex to reduce transcription
