Operons are gene regulatory mechanisms that involve promoting and repressing genes that are involved in the metabolism of organic substances (i.e. sugars). Living organisms have the innate ability to metabolize glucose as the main source of energy. Although, in the absence of glucose, the organism must "learn" to use sugars other than glucose (such as lactose) in order to survive.
For instance, in the <em>lac </em>operon:
In the absence of glucose, various regulatory proteins promote the transcription of the gene related to the metabolism of lactose. This will ultimately lead to the production of the enzyme beta lactosidase which will enable the organism to use lactose as energy in the absence of glucose. This will therefore increase the chances of the organism for survival and will be naturally selected for evolution.
Answer:
High Latitudes: No pycnocline and surface water is dense and stays dense as depth increases. Layer of ocean water where density rapidly increases. Ocean is layered based on density.

i got it from quizlet if its ok with you
My qualitative observation that the flower on the right had larger petals proved to be a great piece of evidence for my research project.
Answer: Only the single-celled organisms of the domains Bacteria
Explanation: Only the single-celled organisms of the domains Bacteria and Archaea are classified as prokaryotes—pro means before and kary means nucleus. Animals, plants, fungi, and protists are all eukaryotes—eu means true—and are made up of eukaryotic cells.
