Sergeu [11.5K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Label A; Mitochondria.

Label B; Nucleus.

Label C; Golgi apparatus.

Label D; Rough endoplasmic reticulum

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • All the above are various organelles in a eukaryotic cells each carrying different cellular activity to enhance the functioning of a cell.

Label A; Mitochondria.

  • <u>Mitochondria</u> is the powerhouse of the cell which converts glucose to energy rich molecules of ATP, through the process of cellular respiration.

Label B; Nucleus.

  • <u>Nucleus</u> contains the genetic material or DNA, RNA , nucleolus, chromatin fibres and proteins. It contains the chromosomes which control the hereditary characteristics.It also regulates all the activities of the cell.

Label C; Golgi apparatus.

  • <u>Golgi apparatus;</u> they are also called Golgi bodies. They function in modifying, sorting and packaging of proteins for secretion. They are also involved in the transport of lipids around the cell, and the creation of lysosomes.

Label D; Rough endoplasmic reticulum

  • <u>The rough endoplasmic reticulum</u> provides surface for protein synthesis. It is also used to transport cellular contents from one cell to another.
  • The risbosomes attached on the rough endoplasmic reticulum are resposible for the protein synthesis through the process of translation.

Which types of mutations in the lac operon stop Escherichia coli from utilizing lactose as a carbon source? a) promoter deletion
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

D.) repressor DNA-binding site mutation

Explanation:

lacl prevents the repressor polypeptide is a mutant that prevent operon from binding lactose, and thus will bind to the operator and be non-inducible.. This mutant will represses the lac operon whether lactose is present or not and the lac operon will not be expressed. It is also called“super-supperesor".

The lacI locus – One type of mutant allele of lacI (callled I-) prevents the production of a repressor polypeptide or produces a polypeptide that will not allow to bind to the operator sequence.

This is also a constitutive expresser of the lac operon because absence of repressor binding permits transcription.

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has revolutionized biology and medicine, by allowing small regions of DNA to be amplified up
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

DNA polymerases from human cells will denature under these conditions.

Explanation:

Under the PCR conditions described, DNA polymerase from <em>T. aquaticus </em>would be more effective than DNA polymerase from human cells. This is due to the higher optimal temperature of DNA polymerase from <em>T. aquaticus. </em>
