Biology

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.

If our visual perception depends only on the feature detectors in the visual cortex, what would we see?
Anika [276]

The sophistication of the visual cortex can be simplified through understanding that the neurons found in this region are distinguished by the kind of stimulus that each detects.

There are three major groups of feature detectors in visual cortex. These includes simple cells, complex cells and hypercomplex cells. The simple cells are the most specific since it responds to the geometric characteristics of the stimulus such as the lines of particular width, orientation, angle and position within the visual field. The complex cells are similar to simple cells. What differentiates one from the other is that they respond to the proper stimulus in any position within the receptive visual field. In addition, some of the complex cells respond to particular lines or edges moving in a specific direction opposite the receptive field. Lastly, the hypercomplex cells are responsive to the specific length of the lines. It is believed that the information from all feature detectors conjoin in to result in the visual stimulation perception.
