Transformation is a process in which bacteria take up new DNA released by dead cells and integrate it into their own genomes (se

e Chapter 9). In Streptococcus pneumoniae (which causes many cases of pneumonia, inner-ear infections, and meningitis), the ability to carry out transformation requires from 105 to 124 genes, collectively termed the com regulon. The com regulon is activated in response to a protein called competence-stimulating peptide (CSP), which is produced by the bacteria and exported into the surrounding medium. When enough CSP accumulates, it attaches to a receptor on the bacterial cell membrane, which then activates a regulator protein that stimulates the transcription of genes within the com regulon and sets in motion a series of reactions that ultimately result in transformation. Does the com regulon in S. pneumoniae exhibit positive or negative control

Answer:

Positive (inducible)

Explanation:

Increased levels of CSP induce the receptor to stimulate transcriptional activator functions, which allow gene expression to occur similar to what happens in positive inducible.

Learning objective: 12.08.05 describe the initiation and propagation of depolarization and repolarization.
denis-greek [22]
Depolarization is initiated when there is an influx of sodium inside the cell as opposed to repolarization, where potassium exits the cell (occurring after Na+ gates close). Remember that for every 3 Na+ in, there is 2 K+ out. This imbalance helps to stabilize the membrane.

Mendel knew that the variations in the offspring generations resulted from his experiments because he
sasho [114]

Mendel was able to attribute the variation observed in the offspring of his experiment to the controlled fertilization process.

Mendel was able to control pollination and, thus, the fertilization process in the pea plants used for his experiment.

Mendel was able to effectively predict the outcome with self-pollination or cross-pollination with different results coming from each. Thus, he logically concluded that the variation observed in the offspring of his crosses is due to the fact that he controlled the fertilization process.
