Biology

Answer:

A mutation is the changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes. Mutations in sex cells are more serious because they are heritable and affect the next generation.

vivado [14]

I have attached lac operon model having 4 genes. See attachment for better understanding.

Answer:

The Lac operon is controlled  by two signals.

Initiation

Glucose and lactose  concentrations control the initiation of  transcription of the Lac operon through  their effects on the Lac repressor protein  and Cap.

Lactose absent (Repression)

When lactose is absent, the Lac  repressor binds the Lac operator and shuts  off expression of the operon.

Lactose present (Transcription)

Addition  of lactose increases the intracellular  concentration of a related compound,  allolactose. allolactose binds to the  Lac repressor, causing it to undergo a  conformational change that releases its grip  on the operator DNa.

Glucose absent (Repression)

When  glucose is absent, cyclic aMp (red triangle)  is produced by the cell and Cap binds to  DNA.

Glucose present (Transcription)

LacZ, the first gene of the operon,  encodes the enzyme b-galactosidase, which  breaks down lactose to galactose and  glucose.

What would happen to a cell if it underwent all the activities at once? Please help me
nadezda [96]
If a cell was to undergo all the activities, eg cell division my mitosis, it results in growth. When we were still zygotes, cell division happened by mitosis resulting in the grown ups we are now. Over division results in growth of cancer cells. And if the body exercises, Lymphocytes are produced more, resulting in more of them circulating in blood preventing disease attacks
