Ans.
Lac (lactose) operon in a type of bacterial operon, which shows a cluster of genes that are regulated by a single promoter. It is composed of an operator, promoter, a terminator, and three structural genes (lacA, lacY, and lacZ), which are responsible for the transport and breakdown of lactose.
The lac operon is an inducible operon as it gets activated in the presence of lactose and expressed its functional genes in the form of proteins (or enzymes) for lactose metabolism.
Thus, the correct answer to be fill in first blank is 'inducible' and in second blank is 'lactose.'
Answer:
Did alleles for drug resistance occur in bacterial populations that afflict humans, prior to the widespread use of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture? a. No—mutations for drug resistance occur in response to antibiotic use. ... Yes—alleles for resistance arise due to random mutation, so are always present.
Explanation:
In order to survive, all the cells in your body need energy. ... To provide this energy, your cells must break down the glucose in your food during a process called glycolysis and convert it into pyruvate<span>, sometimes called pyruvic acid, and the molecule that feeds the Krebs cycle, our second step in </span>cellular respiration<span>.</span>
Answer:
During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells. ... The other type of cell division, meiosis, ensures that humans have the same number of chromosomes in each generation.
