Do predators really kill only the old and sick prey?

Biology
2 answers:
Vladimir79 [104]3 years ago
8 0
No, many predators kill young and healthy prey, as well as old and sick. It really just depends on the type of predator and the situation. A pack of wolves may prey on an old elk because they are small and that is easier for them to kill, while a lion may prey on a young gazelle.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Tissue

Explanation:

A cell is a structure formed during the evolution which contained all the molecules and favourable conditions required to survive and therefore acts as the functional and structural unit of life.

In evolution, more than one cell aggregated together to form a structure which could perform much complex function than a single cell called tissue as they are programmed to perform the same function.

In the given question, since the heart cells worked together to cause movement in the robot therefore the cardiac cells formed cardiac tissue or heart.

Thus, the tissue is the correct answer.

In negative control of transcription by the lac operon, how does the presence of an inducer affect transcription?.
ss7ja [257]

If the inducer [allolactose] is present in the negative control then it will bind to the repressor decreasing its ability to bind to the operator due to which the transcription begins again and the operon is turned on.

Lac Operon is a set of three genes z, y & a which are regulated under the same promoter which regulates the amount of lactose production in the cell.

An inducer is a molecule that has the ability to induce or activate the operon. ex- in the case of the lac operon, allolactose acts as an inducer.

A repressor is a molecule that will repress or restricts the transcription of the genes of the operon, as a result, the operon will be switched off.

When the lac operon is under negative control, with no CAP [catabolite repressor protein] binding activity, the repressor remains active and thus binds to the operator region of the operon, as a result, no transcription takes place and the operon will be switched off.

But if the inducer will be present even in the negative control then the transcription takes place and the operon will be on.
