In the absence of tryptophan, _____.

Biology
1 answer:

Answer: A

Explanation:The Trp operon is responsible for synthesis of the amino acid trytophan when it is not available in the cellular environment.

When the tryptophan is plentiful, a repressor protein binds to two molecules of tryptophan.

Thiss repressor-tryptophan complex binds to the trp operator. This binding prevents the binding of RNA polymerase, so the operon is not transcribed, and no new trptophan is produce.

On the other hand, when tryptophan levels are reduced, the inactive repressor will not bind the tryptophan operator so the operon is transcribed.

Regulation of the trp operon is determined by the concentration of tryptophan; when adequate tryptophan is present in the growth medium, there is no need for tryptophan biosynthesis.

Transcription is turned off when a high concentration of tryptophan is present, and is turned on when tryptophan is absent. The regulatory signal is the concentration of tryptophan itself.

Therefore in the absence of tryptophan, the inactive repressor cannot bind trpO, so operon gene transcription occurs.

Systems that use massively parallel systems of processors whose architecture is based on the human neuron structure are called
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Neural networks

Explanation:

The neuron is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. The neuron is also known as a nerve cell. The neuron is the largest cell of the body that helps to communicate or transmit signals. A neuron has an axon body, dendrites, and terminal region. The transmission of the signal from one neuron to another through the axon terminal.   Large numbers of neurons are present in the human body system that coordinates the whole body system. Neural networks contain a massive amount of neurons whose architecture is based on neurons. So, the correct answer to the given question is neural networks that use massively parallel systems based on neurons.
