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.

When a gene changes within a population over time, it is referred to as __________.
yarga [219]
<span>When a gene changes within a population over time, it is referred to as evolution. This refers to a long but steady rate of mutations that occur in genes of organisms within the environment. A lot of factors affect a population's evolution (e.g. climate, reproduction, food source) and it is a determinant whether a species will survive for the next generations. </span>

can someone help with my biology homework? its about photosynthesis on a foundation paper (included photo)
uysha [10]
1.1 Starch is used as a storage of energy as its small and insoluble.
fats and oils are also a storage in plants usually in seeds
amino acids are used to form proteins
cellulose is used in the reinforcement and creation of the cell wall 

1.2 Glucose is used in respiration in plants

2.1 the subcellular structures are called Chloroplasts which contain thylakoids which contain chrophyll pigments used for photosynthesis

2.2 Carbon dioxide = water ===> glucose = oxygen

2.3 Energy is transferred from the environment during photosynthesis. energy is required as light in the light dependent stage of photosynthesis and this is gained from the sun in the environment around the plant

I hope this helps

A student measured the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide dissolved in an aquarium containing an aquatic plant and a snail. Why
ratelena [41]

The answer is A. Putting the aquarium in the dark means that the aquatic plants will not be able to photosynthesize.  The process of photosynthesis produces oxygen as a by-product. The oxygen is used by the fishes in respiration and release carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is used by the aquatic plants in photosynthesis.
