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.

Answer;

Vesicles containing neurotransmitter.


Explanation;

-Neurotransmitters are released by secretion from the ends of axonal terminals.

-Synaptic vesicles store various neurotransmitters that are released at the synapse.

-Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal when their vesicles "fuse" with the membrane of the axon terminal, spilling the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft.

Why does rattlesnake bite cause blood to appear in the urine?
Serjik [45]
Having broken down walls of Glomerulus would cause blood to appear in urine because instead of only filtrate passing into the capsule, the blood would also flow into the capsule and be released with the urine.

A(n) ________ is a hard outside covering that is used for protection and prevents the inner body area from drying out.
Artist 52 [7]

The cuticle is the most exterior layer of arthropods' tegument, and its principal function is to protect the body and avoid dehydration. Option C is correct. Cuticle.

<h3>What is the cuticle?</h3>

The cuticle is the most exterior layer of arthropods' tegument. It is secreted by the epidermis and develops right over it.

It is composed of two main layers,

  • epicuticle ⇒ outermost layer
  • procuticle ⇒ inner layer

The cuticle is mainly made of chitin, and its function is to protect the organism's body and avoid dehydration.

Because it avoids dehydration it is believed that arthropods had such an evolutive and adaptative successful in their transition from water to the land.

The cuticle also provides support to the body and a muscle attachment surface.

The correct option is C. Cuticle

A _<u>Cuticle</u>_ is a hard outside covering that is used for protection and prevents the inner body area from drying out.

Why is it easy for a virus to mutate?
drek231 [11]

Answer:

Viruses mutate very quickly The major reason that viruses evolve faster than say, mosquitoes or snakes or bed bugs, is because they multiply faster than other organisms. And that means every new individual is an opportunity for new mutations as they make a copy of their genetic material. Many of those mutations have no noticeable effect.

If a pea plant has a genotype SSTt what are the possible genetic combinations that could be present ina single grain of pollen p
Evgesh-ka [11]
Correct answer: D

A pollen is where male gametes are produced and so the number of chromosomes, as we are talking about gametes, is n. This means that the grain of pollen will only have a copy of each gene, and therefore only one allele for each gene - one S, and one T or t. So, the possible combinations are ST and St.
