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.

The chemical equation shown represents photosynthesis.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: <u>Option B; It traps light energy and converts it into chemical energy. </u>

This substance is chlorophyll. It is a pigment present in leaves of all plants. It absorbs light energy and provides it to carry out the process of photosynthesis. Light energy is converted into chemical energy, in form of NADPH and ATP, which can be used by plants for photosynthesis.

This pigment is present only in plants, so option A is incorrect.

This pigment only absorbs and transfers energy to other molecules, and is not associated with carbon dioxide directly, so option C and D are also incorrect.

Which part of an ecosystem would be hurt if humans overhunted an herbivore
Anna71 [15]
Herbivores are those animals that feed only on plants. Herbivores are food for carnivores, which feed on other animals. If a particular herbivore is over hunted by man, the particular carnivore that feed on that over hunted herbivore will be affected, because its source of food has been wiped out. Thus, it will have one less choice when it comes to food and it will have to concentrate on other type of herbivore as source of food. Thus, other herbivores in that particular ecosystem will be affected too.

What is a parental genotype
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

offspring

Explanation:

A dominant allele is denoted by a capital letter (A versus a). Since each parent provides one allele, the possible combinations are: AA, Aa, and aa. Offspring whose genotype is either AA or Aa will have the dominant trait expressed phenotypically, while aa individuals express the recessive trait.
