You are doing an experiment and plated E. coliin different medias. Media A has onlyglucose, B has only lactose, and media C has

Answer:

A. Glucose:

As lactose is absent will follow the glucose metabolism, so the lac repressor will hold tightly with the operator which leads to the prevention of transcription as RNA polymerase can not bind to promoter so no lactose metabolism.

B. lactose:

In the case or wild mutant lactose metabolism will occur as lactose is present, allolactose binds to the lac repressor thus the operator and promoter are free so transcription starts.  The same result will be in all test except in the case of a mutant repressor.

C. glucose and lactose:

In this case, diauxic growth will occur. This growth takes place when two sugars are present in the media. The preferred sugar will be consumed first That is glucose. Then a lag phase will come which will be followed by the second sugar metabolism that is lactose.  the given two cases :

Lactose will be metabolized first, as operator site mutation prevents repressor protein binding and thus will lead to the constitutive synthesis of lac operon in test B.   The same thing will happen, as in this case also, constitutive synthesis of lac operon will happen in test C.

Cultures grown in the presence of both glucose and lactose are metabolizing lactose. In the test (b) and (c) will be responsible due to constitutive synthesis of lac operon will happen.

Why does the the right testicle hang lower than the left?? PLease help i will be thank (Sorry english second language if your wo
Ber [7]

it is entirely normal for one testicle to be bigger than the other. Many people find that the right testicle is slightly larger and the left hangs lower. A difference in size is usually nothing to worry about, though it can occasionally indicate a problem.

This is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. Either side may be slightly larger or hang lower. But be sure to tell a parent (who will let your doctor know) if you have any pain, swelling, or lumps in your testicles.

When a vein in a testicle becomes enlarged, it's called a varicocele. Varicoceles affect up to 15 percent of males. Like varicose veins in your legs, varicoceles may appear bulgy under the skin of your scrotum. They tend to form in the left testicle because the vein on the left side hangs lower.

I think it's C. Because hibernation is usually for animals living in Continental climates. I basically just eliminated the other answers until I got that one. One example for animals living in cold climates burrowing are Arctic Foxes.
