Answer: 26 chromosomes.
The diploid number is the number of chromosomes required for two
sets of copies of the organism’s genome ( this is the number of chromosomes in the cells except gametic cells). The organism's genome is represented as n, and the diploid number,as 2n (2 x 13= 26).
The answer is the first choice: Blue Eyes.
Polygenic traits are those controlled by two or more genes (hence the name "poly" in the term). Other examples would be skin color and height.
Hope this helps! :)
There are different trophic levels at each stage. Trophic levels determine the amount of energy at each stage of the food chain. For example, the energy is 100% at the producer (plant), so it's the 1st trophic level, and so on. Energy amounts decrease as you go up a food chain, and you rarely find more than 5 animals in one because there is not enough energy left for the 6th consumer
Options for part A are as follows:
A) A mutation in the operator sequence
B) A mutation in the lac-Z gene
C) A mutation in the lac-Y gene
D) A super repressor mutation
Answer:
The correct answer:
Part a - A mutation in the operator sequence
Part b - It ensures that a cell dedicates resources to the production of enzymes involved in lactose metabolism only when lactose is available in the environment
Part C. true.
Explanation:
part a:
If there is a mutation in the operator sequence leads to prevent binding of the repressor which leads to allowing constitutive expression of the genes various conditions.
part b:
The biological role of the lac operon makes sure that the cell dedicates resources to the production of enzymes involved in lactose metabolism only when lactose is available in the environment
Part c:
RNA polymerase cannot transcribe the structural genes due to the repressor binds to the lac operator, therefore, the proper function of the lac operon is possible when the placement of the operator sequence between the promotor and the structural genes.
