Answer:
<em>Look below.</em>
Explanation:
This question may have made it seem like natural selection is a harmful process -- be wary of this. To understand this, you have to note something known as heterozygote advantage. All this means is that the heterozygotes, the organism that expresses both the dominant and recessive alleles, rather than the homozygotes, organisms that express both dominant or both recessive alleles, have an advantage. An example is with sickle cell disease. People heterozygous for the sickle cell trait are more resistant to malaria for some reason, whereas the homozygotes are not. Because heterozygotes (which have a harmful allele and normal allele) have the advantage, natural selection selects for this trait and favors it. This leads to the "persistence of harmful or even lethal allele[s]." Again, just because the organism has a lethal allele isn't necessary always a bad thing. :)
Answer:
mRN: CAU GCG CAU AUG GCU CUA G
Explanation:
DNA to mRNA
• Possible Bases: Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine, Uracil (RNA only)
• G↔C, A→U, T→A
• A and G are purines (double‐ring), C, T, and U are pyrimidines (single‐ring)
Answer:
<u>Inducer</u>
<u></u>
Explanation:
Structural proteins within bacteria are encoded along with their functions. These are typically found in a block of genes called an operon. They undergo transcription together with the use of a single promoter sequence to form a polycystronic transcript- this allows for the simultaneous control and regulation of biochemical pathways. This is efficient as these pathways would either need to function together when "switched on" or will not be needed when "switched off". Repressors are proteins that effectively hinder translation by binding to DNA at the operator site, blocking the activity of RNA polymerase in transcription. However inducers are small molecules that can displace these, freeing up the operon for transcription and the activation of relevant biochemical pathways.
The mal operon includes genes which mediate the breakdown of the substrate maltose in bacterial cells. Maltose, called a malt sugar, is a carbohydrate compound made up of two glucose molecules joined by an α-(1,4) glycosidic linkage.
In the presence of maltose, the inducer binds to the activator. This then allows for the binding of RNA polymerase, which facilitates translation and th epr
