In E. Coli, the gene laci codes the lac operon repressor. Which of the following statements is true about an E.coli strain, whic

h is laci-, that is null mutant for laci.
a. There would be no lac operon repression, thus lacA, lacZ and lacY genes would be constitutively expressed regardless of the presence of lactose.
b. There would be no lac operon repression, thus lacA, lacZ and lacY genes would be expressed in the presence of lactose.
c. There would be no lac operon repression, thus lacA, lacZ and lacY genes would be constitutively expressed regardless of the presence of glucose.
d. There would be no lac operon repression, thus lacA, lacZ and lacY genes would be expressed in the presence of allolactose.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-A.

Explanation:

Lac operon is a set of genes arranged sequentially for lactose metabolism in E.coli. The lac operon gets activated in the presence of lactose as the lac operon consists of three enzyme coding genes called lacZ which codes for the β-galactosidase enzyme, lacY which codes for lactose permease, lacA which codes for acetyltransferase along with a regulatory gene called lacI which codes for repressor proteins.

The repressor proteins bind to the operator and control the transcription. When it binds to operator its huts off the transcription. If a mutation occurs in the laci gene then the protein will lose the machinery which will turn off the activity of enzymes and will lead to the constitutive expression of the genes irrespective of the inducer present or not.

Thus, option-A is the correct answer.

Which observation would be the best evidence for a recent founder event or population bottleneck?
Bingel [31]
The best evidence of such phenomena could be a population's genetic variation decrease.
When a population bottleneck occur it means that for some reason (i.e. environmental events) the size of a population is largely reduced. This leads to reduction of the genetic variation in that new smaller population. When a bottleneck occur, the founder effect is normally seen, which is that one population is established by a small group of a previously larger population leading once again the genetic variation, now though with a bigger population, to be very reduced.

What is meant my urbanization and industrialization? How they degrade the environment ​
Whitepunk [10]
Urbanization is defined as “the process of making an area more urban” or an increase in the amount of people living in towns or cities. Industrialization is defined as “the development of industries in a country or region on a wide scale” meaning a strong military with modern weapons, factories to create things, modern cars and boats etc. Urbanization and industrialization put a strain on the environment because of carbon gases emitted, effectively warming the earth up, destruction of trees which lowers our overall oxygen available, destruction of animal homes which will kill animals or cause unwanted interactions between humans and animals, and the pollution of natural resources such as local ponds, streams or the ocean.
