Most of what we know about the lac operon of E. coli has come from genetic analysis of various mutants. In the following list ar

e the genotypes of seven strains of E. coli. Part A For each strain, indicate whether the lacZ gene product will be expressed ( ) or not (-) in the presence of lactose and in the absence of lactose. Explain your reasoning in each case. Unless noted otherwise, assume that glucose levels are low. Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets.

Answer:

Strain               Presence of Lactose     Absence of Lactose

I^{+} P^{+}O^{+} Z^{+}                      (+)                                    (-)

For the wild type case, the lacZ gene product will be expressed in the presence of lactose only.

I^{S} P^{+}O^{+} Z^{+}                      (-)                                    (-)

Because of the super repressor, transcription will not take place regardless of the presence of lactose.

I^{+} P^{+}O^{C} Z^{+}                      (+)                                    (+)

The constitutive operator will allow for transcription to occur, whether or not lactose is present.

I^{-} P^{+}O^{+} Z^{+}                      (+)                                    (+)

The repressor is non-functional, transcription will occur with or without presence of lactose.

I^{S} P^{+}O^{C} Z^{+}                      (+)                                    (+)

The super repressor will not be able to stop transcription as it cannot bind to the constitutive operator.

I^{+} P^{-}O^{+} Z^{+}                      (-)                                    (-)

The promoter is non-functional, transcription will not start and hence, not gene product formed.

I^{+} P^{+}O^{+} Z^{+}                   (-)     (with glucose present)    (-)      

E. coli will not metabolize lactose in the present of glucose, since glucose is the preferred source of nutrition.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Why does the rate of photosynthesis increase and then reach a plateau as the concentration of co2 around a plant increases?
IrinaVladis [17]
 Answer

Light intensity increases also, but it gets to a point that the temperature increases and denature the enzymes involved so a plateau results.

Can someone please help me
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

1A - Respiratory = trachea, lungs... however both arteries and veins move oxygen around the body, and are therefore valid answers

1B - Skeletal = bones

1C - Muscular = muscles

1D - Digestive = stomach, large/small intestine

1E - Circulatory = heart, veins and arteries

2. Cellular respiration is the conversion of sugar into energy the cell uses to function via various chemical reactions. Digestion is an example of this. Stomach acid breaks down food into sugars that cells break down further into energy to keep you alive

3. Bones contain bone marrow deep inside of them which is responsible for the creation of red blood cells. Your lungs can move air all they want but would be useless without red blood cells to take the oxygen to cells and take the CO2 away from them.
