Only the proteins that the bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli) needs are synthesized at any given time. For example, when lactos

e is available in the environment, E. coli will express the lac genes that allow it to break down lactose to obtain energy. When lactose is not present, these genes are not expressed.
This prevents the lac genes in the DNA of E. coli from being expressed most of the time.
A. the lac repressor
B. the lac operator
C. the lac promoter
D. the lac locator

The correct answer is A. Lac repressor.

Lac repressor prevents lac gene which are found in the DNA of Escherichia Coli from being expressed for many times.

Lac repressor is termed as DNA which binds proteins. It allows the expression of genes from coding which are made for proteins to be involved in metabolism of lactose which is in bacteria.

When there is no lactose which is available in the cell, then the genes are being repressed. Lactose are being converted to allolactose if they are available.

Identify all correct statements about the basic function of fermentation. Select all that apply.a. The basic function of ferment
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The correct answer is option  c. "The basic function of fermentation is the regeneration of NAD , which allows continued ATP production by glycolysis".

Explanation:

For bacteria, the basic function of fermentation is not the production of ATP or ethyl alcohol, the basic function of fermentation is the regeneration of NAD+ , which allows continued ATP production by glycolysis. Bacteria normally uses glycolysis for ATP production, it only undergoes fermentation in the absence of oxygen. During bacterial fermentation, a small organic compound as an electron acceptor is used for NADH and regenerates NAD+, this NAD+ is later used in glycolysis for ATP production.

Some people have freckles, and some people do not have freckles. If a child has freckles, at least one parent has freckles. Howe
krok68 [10]

Part 1.

The correct answer is option 2.There are two alleles for freckles.

According to the condition of the occurrence of the freckles, it can be concluded that the freckle is an autosomal dominant condition. The freckle can only be inherited, if there is at least one dominant allele in any of the parent. If both the individuals are heterozygous for the trait, they can produce an offspring without freckle by passing down the recessive alleles to the progeny. So, the freckles are controlled by two alleles, which can be either dominant or recessive.

Part 2.

The correct answer is option 4. P generation and F2 generation.

In this case, it is given that true bred homozygous recessive plant is crossed with true bred homozygous dominant plant. The true bred recessive plant always shows the recessive phenotype. When  true bred homozygous recessive plant is crossed with true bred homozygous dominant plant, the F1 generation would produce all the heterozygous individual and exhibit dominant phenotype. When the F1 generation is self crossed, it result in 75% dominant phenotype and 25% recessive phenotype.

A possible cross for this case is given in the picture.
