Plato answer:
Stimulation of a neuron causes a change in the charge inside the cell from negative to positive. This change is caused by ions, which are atoms with an electrical charge, moving across the cell. This change within the cell is consistent with the definition of an electric charge.
Each cell has ______<u>(Sorry I don't know this one either)</u>______ genes activated depending on it's job and what kind of cell it is.
It is the presence of ____<u>Lactose</u>____ that causes the repressor protein to fall off and unblock the gene on the lac operon.
If a gene is turned on then it is being ______<u>expressed</u>______.
An additional circular chromosome found in some bacteria that is used in genetic engineering. Plasmid
Answer:
catabolite activator protein (CAP)
Explanation:
Catabolite activator protein (CAP) is a homodimeric transcriptional activator required for transcription initiation of catabolite-sensitive genes in <em>Escherichia coli</em>. CAP contains a ligand-binding domain at its N-terminus and a DNA-binding domain at its C-terminus. CAP activates transcription by binding at target DNA sites on promoter sequences, thereby enhancing the ability of the RNA polymerase to bind and initiate transcription. CAP binds cyclic AMP (cAMP) to increase CAP’s affinity to DNA and thus activates the transcription of genes for catabolism, such as the lactose (lac) operon genes (the lac operon is a set of genes that encode for enzymes taking part in lactose metabolism).
