Answer:

True

Explanation:

RNA interference is one of the cell's mechanism to regulate gene expression. Two classes of RNA, micro RNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) are responsible for post transcriptional gene regulation. RNA interference can also help to fight against viral infection. They prevent the transcription of viral gene and in some cases also lead to its degradation by initiating attack from various protein complexes called as ribonucleases.

Under what conditions does the trp repressor block transcription of the trp operon? (A) when the repressor binds to the inducer
Brilliant_brown [7]

The trp repressor blocks transcription of the trp operon (B) when the repressor binds to tryptophan.

trp operon or the tryptophan operon codes enzymes for the amino acid tryptophan. The operon is on when the tryptophan is low in amount whereas the operon is off when the tryptophan is low in amount. The operon is an assimilation of five genes.

Repressor is a small protein that is supposed to prevent the synthesis of proteins. It does so binding to the operator gene. Therefore, presence or absence of repressor is a determining factor for an operon to be on or off.

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The correct option is C. Rare alleles tend to remain rare even when they are dominant.The distribution of a gene among individuals is determined by mating and environmental factors.

Explanation:

Most people believe that a rare allele would only be recessive. But this is not correct. A rare allele can be dominant. The frequency of an allele to occur in a population will depend on the environmental factors. The alleles which code for traits that are best suitable for living in an environment will be seen in more abundance. The frequency of an allele to occur in a population also depends on the breeding trends of the population.
