Answer:

The gene for beta-galactosidase turns off.

Explanation:

The gene that codifies the beta-galactosidase enzyme is part of the <em>lac</em> operon, which also contains two other genes that produce enzymes involved in the metabolization of lactose.

Between glucose and lactose, the bacteria will preferentially use glucose as an energy source. On the other hand, lactose is a dimer, and thus a series of enzymes are needed to process lactose before its use as an energy source.

If there is no lactose present, the genes contained inside this operon are turned off (the operon is repressed).

Answer:

The gene for beta-galactosidase turns off

Explanation:

Beta-galactosidase is an enzyme which cleaves lactose molecule into glucose and galactose.

The lactose-metabolizing enzymes are encoded by the<em> lac</em> operon. The lac operon contains three genes:

  • <em>lac</em>Z encodes beta-galactosidase
  • <em>lac</em>Y encodes lactose permease
  • <em>lac</em>A encodes thiogalactoside transacetylase

In an absence of lactose, Lac repressor binds to <em>lac</em> operator. And as a result of this binding, transcription of <em>lac</em> operon will be prevented. Hence all the above mentioned genes of the <em>lac </em>operon will be repressed or will be turned off.

What is the complimentary strand to AGG-CTA_AAC
Virty [35]

Answer: The complementary strand is TCC- GAT - TTG

Explanation: During DNA replication, each strand of the DNA serves as a template for the synthesis of a new strand, thereby producing two new DNA molecules, each with one new strand and one old strand. A template is a DNA strand that would allow nucleotide molecules to be lined up in a specific order and be joined to create another DNA with a unique sequence. This results in creation of a double stranded DNA in which each strand is complementary to the other. In nucleotide base pairing, Guanine pairs with Cytosine while Thymine pairs with Adenine.

You call an exterminator to your house because you have noticed many nymphs of a specific insect everywhere in your cupboards. T
brilliants [131]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C.

Explanation:

The case in this the biological exterminators asks to use the biological concept which includes spraying the solution of the juvenile hormone to get rid of nymphs of specific insect and according to the assumption, this solution causes some alteration on the ability to reproduce of such nymphs and leads to only nonreproductive ones.

On the given condition the increasing of nymphs, the number of adult nymphs or decreasing of nymphs can not be condition and as the reproductive ability is affected the number of nymphs would be the same.

Thus, the correct answer would be - option C.
