The Lac Operon is a set of genes that controls the production of lactase the enzyme that digests

Biology
1 answer:
Romashka [77]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The lactose present prevents the production of lactase

Explanation:

This question is describing a set of genes in bacteria called LAC OPERON. Lac operon controls the production of lactase, which is the enzyme that digests lactose. However, this gene can be regulated at the transcription level i.e caused to be transcribed or not depending on certain factors.

According to the question, lac operon, which regulates the production of enzymes will be transcribed and subsequently translated i.e. turned on when there is a substrate (lactose) that the produced enzyme will work on. However, when there is no need of the lactase enzyme or there is absence of lactose (substrate), the lac operon gene is turned off.

Note that, the statement that "The presence of lactose prevents the production of lactase" is not correct.

Roles of bones in bony fish include which of the following?
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

D All of the above

Explanation:

Like our bones, bones in fish can provide general protection and support to their body.

(Fun fact, jellyfish do not have bones, so when they are out of the water, they loses their bell shape structure and looks more like a flat piece of jelly. But fish tends to look the same when it is in water and out of water.)

The bone is also where the muscles will attach to, which allows for movement.

(Imagine our fingers, the muscles in our fingers are attached to our bones, which allows us to do things like typing.)

Bones can also protect the fish's brain.

(Brain can be very fragile and soft, so having a hard structure around it can protect the brain. It's kind of similar to protecting the liquid egg in an egg shell.)
