People with two copies of the sickle cell gene have the disease. People who carry only one copy of the sickle cell gene do not have the disease, but may pass the gene on to their children. Abnormal hemoglobin, called hemoglobin S, causes sickle cell disease (SCD). The problem in hemoglobin S is caused by a small defect in the gene that directs the production of the beta globin part of hemoglobin. This small defect in the beta globin gene causes a problem in the beta globin part of hemoglobin, changing the way that hemoglobin works.
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.
Fermentation reactions generally occur under conditions of low oxygen concentrations.
Well... species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation.
