a. this operon will be insensitive to attenuation by tryptophan.
b. the structural genes will be transcribed in the absence of tryptophan.
c. the tryptophan biosynthetic enzymes will not be synthesized.

If a lot of tryptophan is present, the operon will be repressed.
Under intermediate amounts of tryptophan, the change to stop codons would cause the ribosome to stall and therefore would mimic as if there were no tryptophan present.
If no tryptophan present, the operon would be maximally expressed.

a - True. The ribosome would always be stalled in the leader sequence - so this wouldn't matter. However, the operon would still be transcribed because the repressor would be active (remember Trp operon is controlled both by attenuation and repression). True as long as there's not much tryptophan to activate the repressor!
b- True - With no tryptophan the repressor isn't engaged and the ribosome is stalled in the leader sequence.
c- Matters about how much tryptophan is available. So True if there's lots of tryptophan available.
d- I would choose this one as all of the above could be true depending on the levels of tryptophan.

Which of the following is NOT a way that models can be useful?
AlekseyPX

A way in which models cannot be useful is: B). being a perfect representation of a situation.

<h3>What is a model?</h3>

A model can be defined as the creation of a physical object either from kits, components or other applicable materials that are acquired by the builder, so as to simulate a phenomenon or process.

This ultimately implies that, a model should be probabilistic in nature rather than being perfect, so as to effectively illustrate or describe the relationship that is existing between an independent variable and the dependent variable.

Generally, some of the ways in which models cannot be useful include the following:

  • Building intuition for situations.
  • Making predictions that can be verified.

In conclusion, we can infer and logically deduce that way in which models cannot be useful is being a perfect representation of a situation.

Imagine you are a pathogen. You are trying to invade a human, and you find yourself moving through barriers. Describe the barrie
Artyom0805 [142]
The different barriers that you have to go through are the different organs of the immune system. These are the lymphoid organs, thymus, and bone marrow. The secondary wall that you have to go through are the lymphatic tissues which include the lymph nodes, adenoids, skin, liver, tonsils, spleen, and the lymph vessels. 

At all times, these systems work hand-in-hand so that the body can protect itself in order for it to survive
