Tryptophan is an amino acid necessary for E. coli survival and growth. E. coli contain genes coding for enzymes that synthesize

tryptophan. These genes are grouped together on a segment of DNA called the tryptophan (trp) operon. Cells can use these enzymes to synthesize tryptophan when it is not present in the environment. owever, when tryptophan is already present in the environment, cellular resources are shifted away from manufacturing the enzymes for tryptophan synthesis. Tryptophan binds with and activates the trp repressor, which then binds to the trp promoter and blocks RNA polymerase. Blocking RNA polymerase decreases the normal transcription rate of the operon. What type of regulation does the trp operon exhibit?a. positive regulation b. protein modification c. negative regulation d. translational regulation

Answer:

The correct answer is - The tryptophan operon shows C. negative regulation.

Explanation:

Tryptophan is an amino acid, excessively synthesized by the organism, it regulates its transcription through “trp Operon.” In this operon, the corepressor of the tryptophan binds to the repressor protein and gets activated.

This activated repressor now binds to the operator site, and prevents the binding of RNA polymerase enzyme and inhibits the protein synthesis.

Which of the following is the most powerful evolutionary force in large populations over time?
DanielleElmas [232]
There is no answer that is right except for C. Natural Selection.

Genetic Recombination doesn't change gene frequency;nor does migration. (Unless it's local)

Mutation could be the answer, but since mutations are too rare to really power Evolution, the only logical answer is Natural Selection.

Answer:

The correct answer is drink seawater and secrete excess ions mainly through their nasal salt glands.

Explanation:

Avians or Birds that live in marine environments are often referred to as seabirds. They lack access to fresh drinking water.

Seabirds have specialised nasal salt glands found in just above their eyes which is used for drinking seawater and secreting excess ions. This makes them well adapted to life in a marine habitat.
