Answer:
The gene for beta-galactosidase turns off.
Explanation:
The gene that codifies the beta-galactosidase enzyme is part of the <em>lac</em> operon, which also contains two other genes that produce enzymes involved in the metabolization of lactose.
Between glucose and lactose, the bacteria will preferentially use glucose as an energy source. On the other hand, lactose is a dimer, and thus a series of enzymes are needed to process lactose before its use as an energy source.
If there is no lactose present, the genes contained inside this operon are turned off (the operon is repressed).
To show the different levels of classification and divide among species, and different organisms on planet Earth. It also creates a universal "language" for scientists around the world when referring to organisms (cougar & puma are the same animals; different name)
Example: The American Alligator and the Chinese Alligator (look it up!) are in the same family and genus, but are not the same species.
Pi and sigma bonds
Pi is double bonds and sigma is single bonds
Answer:
A student has been studying electrical circuits in class. The student suggests that replacing a wire with rubber tubing will stop the current from flowing through a circuit. Which term best describes this idea?
Hypothesis
Explanation:
From the analogy, it is expedient to know that the student assertion about the electrical circuits was an hypothesis because it gives room for further investigation by other scholars.
