The protein thorain is encoded by the gene thrL, and thorain is a negative regulator of the thrMN operon. Assume there is no oth

er regulation taking place. Predict the phenotype of a thrL- mutant that encodes a nonfunctional thrL protein.
a. The thrM and thrN genes would be transcribed at higher levels compared to non-mutant.
b. The thrM and thrN genes would be transcribed all lower levels compared to non-mutant.
c. The thrM and thrN genes would not be transcribed

Answer:

The correct answer is option a, that is, the thrM and thrN would be transcribed at high levels in comparison to non-mutant.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, in the existence of thorain the expression of thrM and thrN will be prevented as thorain functions as a negative regulator. In case, if the gene, which codes for thorain, that is, thrL gets mutated, the coding for the functional thorain would get prevented.  

With the encoding of the non-functional thrL protein, there would be an enhancement in the expression of thrN and thrM genes and it will get transcribed at higher levels in comparison to the non-mutant or the wild-type.

Vinvika [58]

A chemical bonding is a lasting attraction is atoms molecules or ions.There are three main types of bonds: ionic, covalent and metallic. These bonds occur when electrons are transferred from one atom two another, and are a result of the attraction between the resulting oppositely charged ions. This happens between atoms with an electronegativity difference generally larger than 1.8.

In this scenario you want to test if the evolution of a food preference may reinforce reproductive isolation. You know that you
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

It is given and we know that if balloon vine bugs and golden rain tree bugs prefer fruits from either host plant. Then the change in the food preference leads to reproductive isolation which is sympatric isolation

There is the ongoing rapid evolution of bugs in relation to the seed defense structures of their host. Rapid evolution in bug populations that feed on recently introduced sapinds is grounded with an ancestral pattern of coevolution between the bugs and the defenses of sapinds.
