b. lac repressor
c. RNA polymerase
d. lac repressor and RNA polymerase
e. cAMP receptor protein (CRP) and RNA polymerase

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

e. cAMP receptor protein (CRP) and RNA polymerase.

Explanation:

Lac operon is a type of inducible operon which can be controlled positively or negatively. A positively controlled operon is the one which is controlled through an activator while negatively controlled is the one which is controlled through a repressor. The inducer in case of lac operon is cAMP receptor protein (CRP) which forms a dimer and makes interaction in the upstream region of promoter of lac operon so as to facilitate transcription. Repressor in case of lac operon is a tetrameric protein which binds the operator region of lac operon and prevents gene expression by restricting RNA polymerase from facilitating transcription.

When lactose is present in high concentrations and glucose is in low concentration in the culture medium for a wild type E. coli strain, the control will be negative as well as positive.

If the glucose level is very low, an enzyme known as adenylyl cyclase becomes active and produces cAMP, this cAMP then forms a dimer by interacting with CRP to form a cAMP-CRP dimer which acts as an activator and binds to the upstream of lac promoter and helps RNA polymerase to initiate transcription.  

Also because of high lactose concentration, lactose isomerises into allolactose which acts as an inducer and interacts with repressor to remove it from operator region. As soon as repressor is removed from the operator region, RNA polymerase starts transcription.

A man is heterozygous with a cleft chin (a dominant trait that obeys Mendel's first law) marries a normal-chinned woman and they have 10 children, all with cleft chins. What is the probability that the 11th child will have a normal chin

Answers

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

If the male has a cleft chin, that means that his chromosomes is Aa. His wife must be aa.

             Female      Female

Male      Aa             Aa

Male      aa             aa

With Aa, the child will have a cleft chin. With aa, the child will not. So the probability is 50%.

For a molecule to be considered organic what elements must be present? A. Carbon only B. Oxygen and hydrogen C. Carbon and hydrogen D. Carbon and oxygen

Answers

For a molecule to be considered organic elements must be present in  Carbon and hydrogen. The answer to your question would be letter C. These are use in order to create an element which is further used all living organisms in living.
for a molecule to be organic, it has to contain a backbone of carbon and some hydrogen so the answer would be C. 

Each strand of a DNA molecule contains nitrogenous bases that pair with other nitrogenous bases in very specific ways. A segment of a DNA strand is shown. 3’ GATCGATC 5’

Which complementary DNA strand pairs correctly with the strand above?

A. 5’ CTAGCTAG 3’
B. 5’ GATCGATC 3’
C. 5’ CUAGCUAG 3’
D. 5’ CATCGATC 3’

Answers

Each base pair forms a "rung of the DNA ladder" by joining two complementary DNA nucleotide bases. Two linked strands of DNA form a double helix, which is a structure that resembles a twisted ladder.

What is complementary base pairing in DNA molecule?

Because they are complementary base pairs, adenine binds to thymine while guanine attaches to cytosine. The complimentary bases may unite to form a bond.

This aids in holding the DNA molecule's two antiparallel strands together to form the helix. The complimentary base pairing rule refers to this.

Cytosine pairs with guanine, while adenine pairs with thymine. The two strands are so complimentary to one another.

For instance, a complementary DNA strand will have the nucleotidesequence 5' CTAGCTAG 3' for a DNA strand with the nucleotide sequence 3' GATCGATC 5'.

Therefore, According to this rule, nucleotides A and T and bases G and C are always equally abundant in DNA.

A student conducts an experiment to determine how the amount of water given to a plant affects its growth. What is the dependent variable for this experiment? a. the amount of water b. the height of the plant c. the amount of sunlight d. the amount of soil Please select the best answer from the choices provided

Answers

Answer: b. the height of the plant.

In an experimental set up an independent variable is the one which can be manipulated or change to observe the effects of such changes or manipulation on dependent variable. For example, plant growth is a dependent variable because it is dependent on independent variables such as amount of sunlight available, amount of fertilizers and water provided.

In this experiment, it is to be determined that how the amount of water given to a plant affects its growth. Here, water is an independent variable which can be change in the experiment and the affect of change can be observed on plant growth which is a dependent variable. A height represents the growth of the plant therefore, height of the plant is the dependent variable.

I think the answer to this is the height of the plant. The amount of water is the independent variable and the amount of sunlight and soil arent included in this experiment.
