Biology
1 answer:
Thepotemich [5.8K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C. Is a repeated sequence of DNA in a non- coding sequence

D. Can be composed of a variable number of repeats in different people

Explanation:

Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) are short DNA motifs, i.e., short nucleotide repeat units (generally 2-7 base pairs in size) that may have a different number of repeats among individuals (alleles). Polymorphic STR sequences are very useful genetic markers and therefore they are used for different purposes, e.g., for constructing genome linkage maps, identification of individuals and/or populations, paternity testing, etc. For example, in the USA, the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) is a databank that stores different DNA profiles based on 13 core STR <em>loci</em> which are used in forensic identity testing.

The Lac Operon is a set of genes that controls the production of lactase the enzyme that digests
Romashka [77]

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.
