Many mutations have been identified in the lac operon. A particular mutation in the CRP gene make the CRP protein bind to the Pl

ac promoter independent of the level of cAMP. Predict the expression of the lac operon in cells with this mutation under the different growth conditions by checking all conditions when the lac operon will be "on". (for the purposes of this question, either a extremely low level of expression or completely off are equivalent) Select one or more:
a. + glucose, + lactose
b. - glucose, - lactose
c. + glucose, - lactose
d. - glucose, + lactose

Answer:

a. + glucose, + lactose  = On

b. - glucose, - lactose  = Off

c. + glucose, - lactose  = Off

d. - glucose, + lactose = On

Explanation:

Lac operon has both types of control, repressible and inducible.

Whenever glucose level is low in the cell, an enzyme known as adenylyl cyclase raises the level of cAMP which forms a dimer with CRP protein and they both act as activator of lac operon and cause expression.

Apart from this, when lactose is present in the cell, β-galactosidase enzyme metabolizes lactose to form allolactose which causes allosteric repulsion in the lac repressor and causes its removal from the operator. As soon as repressor is removed lac operon gets activated.

In wild type lac operons, the expression of lac operon occurs when glucose level is low in the cell and lactose is present but in this mutant presence or absence of glucose will not make a difference because CRP will bind Plac promoter independent of cAMP level i.e. activator CRP will work even in high glucose concentration. If lactose is present then lac operon will always express so in option 'a & d' lac operon will express but in option 'b & c' it will not express.

Obligate symbiotic fungi that form associations with plants by entering their cortical cells without invading the plant cells me
kow [346]
Obligate symbiotic fungi that form associations with plants by entering their cortical cells without invading the plant cells membrane are called endomycorrhizae and include the genus Glomus. Many plants form associations called mycorrhizae with fungi that give them access to nutrients in the soil, protecting against disease and toxicities.  In these associations the fungi are integrated into the physical structure of the root, where the fungi colonize the living root tissue during active plant growth.

1. Describe what a growth factor is and<br> how it influences the cell cycle.
igomit [66]

Growth factors are hormones, proteins, or steroid molecules that regulate many cellular functions. They can stimulate the cell division by giving the signal to the cell to progress in the cell cycle.  

<u>Explanation</u>:  

Growth factors are naturally produced within the body and travels through the body to bind to their receptors present on their target cells. These growth factors are capable of signalling the cell to divide, proliferate, or heel. Their main aim is to signal or tell other cell when to do and what to do. Due to the binding with the receptors the growth factors activates specific genes.
