In the absence of tryptophan, what happens to the genes within the trp operon? a. The regulator without tryptophan-binding preve

nts the genes from being transcribed. b. The regulator falls off the operator and structural genes get transcribed. c. Lack of tryptophan increases the level of cAMP high, which leads to activation of CAP protein and gene expression. d. The active repressor binds to the operator and genes do not get transcribed. e. The active activator binds to the operator and transcription of structural gene takes place.

Answer:

The correct answer is b  The regulator gene falls off the operator and the structural genes get transcribed.

Explanation:

Tryptophan operon contain3 regulatory genes and 5 structural genes.when adequate amount of tryptophan is present at that time the tryptophan binds to the repressor molecule encoded by tryp R gene.Thus Tryptophan act as co repressor .The repressor molecule bound to tryptophan interacts with operator region resulting in blocking the expression of structural genes.

 But when tryptophan is absent at that time repressor molecule cannot function.As a result the repressor molecule fall off from the operator and structural genes get transcribed.

Which of the following are NOT correct based on Darwin's theory of evolution?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

D variations in individuals are not heritable

Explanation:

Genetic variation in individuals is what drives evolution. In a population of individuals in an environment, with the adequate resources, overpopulation can occur. However, resources are usually a limiting factor for population growth: there is not sufficient food/shelter etc. for everyone to survive.

Some individuals are better suited to success in the environment. This is because of random variation in their DNA that has arisen that give them a selective advantage. This allows them to thrive, take advantage of the limited resources over other members of the population, and be more likely to survive to reproductive age. This is natural selection.

Because this variation is genetic (in the DNA), they can then pass it on to their offspring. Over time, this leads to evolution over time.
