A theoretical protein, blue2, is coded for by the blu2 gene. This protein codes for a blue pigment used by the organism to prote

ct it from damaging UV rays from sunlight. The enzyme alterase binding to the blu2 operator halts transcription of blue2. A blu2 operator mutation causes a conformational change that does not allow alterase to bind to operator.

The question is:
What may be observed as a result of the described mutation in an individual? 

<span>1) Skin cancer due to UV rays </span>
<span>2) Darker blue pigmentation </span>
<span>3) A lack of alterase for other functions it may serve </span>
<span>4) The release of a different pigment color

The correct answer is B.
In this theoretical molecular cascade, we have three key parts, the blue2 gene, the blue2 operator and the enzyme alterase.
The enzyme alterase stops the expression of the blue2 gene by binding  to its operator, and therefore the blue pigment protein.
The blue2 operator has a specific binding spot for alterase. If this binding spot is changed due to a conformational change, the alterase would not be able to bind to the operator and the blue2 gene could express undisturbedly, resulting in increased concentration of the blue pigment protein.</span>

tatiyna

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

You can tell that rocks are older or younger depending on if other layers overlap. B is the oldest because all the others cover it, C is the second youngest because D and A overlap it. From what I could tell, when I took the test, it was either A or D, neither overlap each other so I was not sure so I guessed A and got it right. Though it could be looked at that A is smaller than D since its still growing and building.

Which criteria allow biologists to divide chemicals into macronutrients and micronutrients?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The requirement of different nutrients, divide them into 2 categories.

Explanation:

On the basis of requirement of nutrients in our food, the chemicals are divided into 2 types - macronutrients, and macronutrients.

Nutrients are the molecules present in the food nourishes the living organisms. The macronutrients are needed in large quantities and they provide energy to the organism.

There are 3 major macronutrients present in every kind of food - proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.  

On the other hand, micronutrients are required very less amount to the animals. But they are important for nourishment of the body, but their quantity is very less. Example of micronutrients are vitamins, minerals, manganese, iron, potassium, etc.

Therefore, it is told one should take balance diet to get all the nutrients.

How does a cloned sheep compare genetically to a sheep that is made using sexual reproduction
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The cloned sheep is the result of nuclear fusion from two different sheeps. In one sheep the enucleated egg is fused with DNA of another sheep.

Explanation:

The cloned sheep is the result of nuclear fusion of 2 different sheep. In the cloning process, the egg cell of one sheep was enucleated. Then a DNA from another sheep had taken and put into the enucleated egg cell to fuse.  Then the egg allowed to divide in the laboratory to the blastocyst stage. The blastocyst incorporated into a surrogate mother or a third sheep.  The surrogate mother after some months gives birth to the cloned sheep.  

The sheep produced by normal reproduction has the DNA of two parents. The sheep have two parents and resemble their parents.  

In cloned sheep, there is no biological parent and have DNA of the donor sheep. That means the cloned sheep has a gene of a single sheep not the DNA of others. Because the egg cell was enucleated before the cloning process.  The sheep are more like the donor DNA sheep not like the surrogate mother.
