Biology
1 answer:
Mandarinka [93]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

b. An operon is a region of DNA that codes for a series of functionally related genes under the control of the same promoter

Explanation:

An operon is usually found in prokaryotic organisms. It refers to the functional structure within prokaryotic genome in which multiple different genes are under the control of one promotor. All of the genes are transcribed together which leads to the formation of polycistronic mRNA. Polycistronic mRNA migh undergo splicing to create monocistronic mRNAs which will be translated separately into few products (proteins).

what are the evolutionary evidence of giant pandas and why did they stop eating fish anymore PLEASE WHEN ANSWERING WRITE DOWN TH
maks197457 [2]
Http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/seriouslyscience/2015/01/29/pandas-ancestors-ditch-meat-bamboo/



According to this study, it may have had to do with the deactivation (technically known as “pseudogenization”) of an umami taste receptor gene. Umami is the taste that makes things like meat, soy sauce, and mushrooms extra yummy. Apparently, at some point in panda evolution, the umami receptor became non-functional. Based on how much the gene has changed, the authors calculate that this happened around the same time that pandas started eating bamboo. Whether it’s cause or effect is unclear, although the authors think the switch to bamboo may have happened before the gene was lost. Regardless, the loss of the gene reinforced the panda’s vegetarian diet because it made meat less delicious to the bears.
