Biology

Alexeev081 [22]3 years ago

Answer:

E. On in the presence of lactose and absence of glucose

Explanation:

Expression of lac operon synthesizes the enzymes required for catabolism of lactose sugar. When both glucose and lactose are available, glucose is preferred as a nutrient and the lac operon is not expressed.

Lac operon is expressed only when glucose is absent in the medium and lactose is present. If any of the two conditions deviate, the operon is not expressed.

In the absence of glucose and the presence of lactose, the repressor is rendered inactive to bind to the operator. RNA polymerase enzyme is free to bind to the promoter and continue the process of transcription.

The reduced levels of glucose increase the cAMP levels which in turn bind to the Catabolite activator protein (CAP). CAP is a positive regulator that binds to the promoter to facilitate the transcription of the operon by RNA polymerase.

konstantin123 [22]

Your answer would be C because A affects the natural environment and can cause harm to it, B would affect the surrounding animal population and cause imbalances in biodiversity if they are not able to eat the foods they are used to, and D is not much of a benefit since you are losing the flavor that is naturally in the plants.
