The scientists rely on the following cues to hypothesise and test for the presence of life on various extraterrestrial bodies:
1. Presence of water
2. Presence of hydrocarbons
3. Presence of carbon
4. Presence of salt pans
The presence of hydrocarbons may indicate that there's anaerobic life thriving beneath the surface of the meteorite. The presence of traces of carbon may indicate that there was life once thriving on its surface ( which however is not possible in case of a meteorite because of its size). The absence of any of the above listed items will indicate that the surface of the meteorite is devoid of any life.
Metaphase. This is when the chromosomes line up in the center at the metaphase plate :) hope this helped!
This is what I found hopefully it helps :)
Answer:
Something that returns to its original shape after something happens to it. For example, Jello or a bungee cord. It will retract after something happens. That retracting force is your answer :)
Answer: The lac operon is an inducible operon that is activated in the presence of lactose.
An operon is a unit of genes which are controlled by the single promoter and operator sequence. It consists of a regulatory gene, promoter, operator, and structural genes.
Lac (lactose) operon consists of three structural genes namely lacZ, lacY, and lacA. These genes are transcribed and translated to produce specific enzymes used for lactose metabolism.
It is called as inducible operon because lactose acts like an inducer as its presence induces the transcription process. The lactose is first converted into allolactose which then binds to repressor (synthesized by regulatory gene). In this way, it makes the repressor inactive and therefore allows the transcription of structural genes.
