Answer:

d. regulatory; operator; regulatory  

Explanation:

In prokaryotes, the regulation of gene expression is done at the transcription level by operons. Examples are the lac operon and the trp operon.  To initiate transcription, RNA polymerase and a DNA segment are required for binding called a promoter.

DNA segments that are close to the promoter serve as binding sites for regulatory, activating or repressing proteins. They are called operons.

The Operon is a regulatory sequence close to prokaryotic DNA that lies between the structural genes and the promoter. It is responsible for controlling the transcription of structural genes. When the repressor, encoded by the regulatory gene, binds to the operator, the promoter is blocked which prevents transcription.

The Promoter is located next to an operator and is the site in the DNA molecule that binds to RNA polymerase (which is a regulatory protein) to initiate transcription.

In which position are the earth, moon, and sun during a new moon?
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

A. Moon is between the Sun and Earth

Explanation:

The new moon stage is the faze in which we can not see the Moon from Earth. In this stage, the Moon is lacking from the sky, or rather we can not see it because it is totally dark from the side that is facing the Earth. The reason for this is that the Moon is located between the Sun and the Earth. The Sun is making half of the Moon bright as it always does, but in this stage it is the half of the Moon that is facing the Sun, while the other half that is facing the Earth is totally dark as it doesn't receive any sunlight at that time.

Allushta [10]
To see the difference between <span>biped and a quadruped,</span> let's compare the skeletons of the man (biped) and the horse (quadruped):

*The man has the bigger pelvis: he has to bear the weight of the body.*The scapula is smaller.*The bones of the hind leg bigger.*The forearms more mobile.*The man has the spine that attaches under the skull.*And the tail that has completely regressed.
the man has adapted to standing and biped (he walks on 2 feet): his hind legs are reinforced.
