Adaptation is a phenomenon that is about adjusting certain features to environmental conditions. Ie. birds are adapted to flight as they possess wings, very efficient lungs etc. or tropical plants are adapted to high temperature and humidity as they modified their photosynthesis process. but if some creature is adapted to the specific habitat or conditions, it is hard for it to manage in another habitat/different conditions. ie. birds are fast in the air but on the ground they are quite weak and prone to predators' attacks.

How are bacteria able to regulate their genes by two types of operons?
Aleks04 [339]

Operons are the functional units of transcription and genetic regulation. These are found in bacteria and their viruses where genes coding for functionally related proteins are grouped along the DNA.

The two types of operons are- inducible and repressible.

They regulate the genes as in negative inducible operons, a regulatory repressor protein is bound to the operator. It prevents the transcription of the genes on the operon. If positive inducer is present, it binds to the repressor and changes its conformation so it is unable to bind to the operator.
