white eyes, 46 females with white eyes, 44 males witIh red eyes, and 47 females with red eyes are produced. Which of the following is the best conclusion you can make about the parents of this generation?
a. One parent was heterozygous for eye color and the other was homozygous with red eyes. Incorrect
b. Both parents were homozygous with red eyes.
c. One parent had white eyes and the other was heterozygous for eye color.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

White eyes (r) are recessive to Red (R).  a) Rr x RR produces 50% RR and 50% Rr, both express with red eyes so there can be no white eyed offspring.   b) RR x RR produces all RR, red eyes so there can be no white eyed offspring.  c) rr x Rr produces Rr, rr, Rr, rr.  50% white, 50% red which is close to the generation given.  d) Rr x Rr produces RR, Rr, Rr, rr: 75% Red, 25% white. not as close to the data as c.

What is the role of glucose in catabolite repression? What is the role of glucose in catabolite repression?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

It decreases the levels of cAMP in the cell, repressing transcription from the lac operon.

Explanation:

When glucose is absent, cAMP serves as coactivator binds to CRP, the catabolite gene activator protein. The CRP-cAMP complex binds to the site near the lac promoter and stimulates the expression of the operon by RNA polymerase many folds.

Catabolite repression refers to inhibition of the synthesis of enzymes of lactose catabolism when glucose is present as an energy source. In the presence of glucose, synthesis of cAMP is inhibited resulting in its lower cellular concentration. The lower cAMP levels do not allow the binding of cAMP and CRP. The result is reduced expressed of lac operon.

How are cancer cells able to get nutrients away from your healthy cells?
chubhunter [2.5K]
<span>well this is an interesting question and i would say it may depend on what type of cancer cells you are growing and what type of "normal" cells your growing. One possibility is that cell fusion events may occur between your cancer cells and normal cells, thus creating a few options 1 - making the normal cell cancerous, 2 - making the cancer cell that fused with the normal cell not cancerous anymore. 3 - either way the fused cell will have a different genotype and hence be a different cell.</span>
