Answer:
catabolite activator protein (CAP)
Explanation:
Catabolite activator protein (CAP) is a homodimeric transcriptional activator required for transcription initiation of catabolite-sensitive genes in <em>Escherichia coli</em>. CAP contains a ligand-binding domain at its N-terminus and a DNA-binding domain at its C-terminus. CAP activates transcription by binding at target DNA sites on promoter sequences, thereby enhancing the ability of the RNA polymerase to bind and initiate transcription. CAP binds cyclic AMP (cAMP) to increase CAP’s affinity to DNA and thus activates the transcription of genes for catabolism, such as the lactose (lac) operon genes (the lac operon is a set of genes that encode for enzymes taking part in lactose metabolism).
Answer:
One allele is on one chromosome, and the other is in the same position (locus) on the homologous chromosome.
Explanation:
The genotype of an organism refers to the genetic makeup or complete set of genes. The genes control the trait of an organism and exist in an organism in their alternative form called alleles.
Since the alleles are the alternative form of a gene, therefore, they must be present at the same position called a locus.
These alleles are present on the homologous chromosome in which each homologous chromosome is contributed by each parent.
Therefore when the genotype is aa then a and a allele will be present on homologous chromosomes in the same position.
Thus, the selected option is correct.
The answer to your question is Nitrogen.
