Answer:

They contained few or no natural species occupying the niche filled by the zebra mussel.

Explanation:

All the available options are capable of contributing to the success of the zebra mussel in the United State water.

However, it is not true that the United State water contained few or no natural species occupying the niche filled by the zebra mussel. The zebra mussel are exotic species that got into the United State water around 1991 and were able to outcompete the native species and multiply rapidly, a characteristic of an invasive species.

<em>Abundance of prey for the zebra mussel will ensure that their population thrives due to adequate availability of food.</em>

<em>The presence of toxins or pollutants that eliminate natural competitors of the zebra mussel will enable their population to thrive due to lack of competition for resources, provided the toxins/pollutants are not toxic to the zebra mussels themselves.</em>

<em>The presence of few or no natural predator will also enables the population of zebra mussels to thrive because that is another limiting factor removed.</em>

The answer is most likely the second choice. All answer choices could be possible, but in light of the others the second choice is far too specific, and there is no information in the prompt to even indicate that as a plausible answer choice.

Which of the following mutations could lead to constitutive expression of the genes of the lac operon? View Available Hint(s) Wh
Molodets [167]

Options for part A are as follows:

A) A mutation in the operator sequence

B) A mutation in the lac-Z gene

C) A mutation in the lac-Y gene

D) A super repressor mutation

Answer:

The correct answer:

Part a - A mutation in the operator sequence

Part b - It ensures that a cell dedicates resources to the production of enzymes involved in lactose metabolism only when lactose is available in the environment

Part C. true.

Explanation:

part a:

If there is a mutation in the operator sequence leads to prevent binding of the repressor which leads to allowing constitutive expression of the genes various conditions.

part b:

The biological role of the lac operon makes sure that the cell dedicates resources to the production of enzymes involved in lactose metabolism only when lactose is available in the environment

Part c:

RNA polymerase cannot transcribe the structural genes due to the repressor binds to the lac operator, therefore, the proper function of the lac operon is possible when the placement of the operator sequence between the promotor and the structural genes.
