Answer:

Certain mutations in the repressor gene or operator sequence make the operon constitutive.

Explanation:

Lac operon is not expressed in the absence of lactose sugar. The repressor gene codes for the repressor protein which in turn binds to the operator region. The operator region of lac operon serves as a binding site for the repressor protein. Binding of repressor to the operator region of lac operon does not allow the RNA polymerase to transcribe the genes and the expression of operon is prevented.

Certain mutations in the repressor gene or operator sequence make the operon transcriptionally active even in the absence of lactose. A mutation in the repressor gene that results in the synthesis of non-functional repressor protein or no repressor protein would make the operon constitute. Similarly, a mutation in the operator sequence that does not allow an otherwise functional repressor protein to bind it would also result in the expression of the operon in the absence of lactose.

In E. coli, mutations in the lacI gene can lead to a faulty repressor or the absence of repressor production, causing constitutive expression of lac operon genes, thus allowing the synthesis of lac proteins without the inducer lactose.

Certain mutations in the regulator gene of the lac operon can lead to the maximal synthesis of lac proteins in E. coli even without lactose, the usual inducer. The regulator gene, or lacI, normally produces an active repressor protein that binds to the operator region and prevents RNA polymerase from transcribing the lac operon genes when lactose is absent. When lactose is present, it is converted to allolactose, which binds to the repressor, altering its shape and preventing it from binding to the operator.

Mutations in the lacI gene can create a repressor protein that does not bind effectively to the operator, or none at all, leading to constitutive expression of the lac operon. Therefore, the usual regulatory control is lost, and the genes for lactose metabolism (eta-galactosidase, permease, and transacetylase) are expressed at high levels regardless of lactose presence.

Answer:

C) Large number of easily visible phenotypes

Explanation:

Drosophilia have large number of phenotypes, for instance have a look on different phenotypes for eye colour :

Answer:

c. 40%

Explanation:

DNA is composed of smaller subunits called nucleotides.

Structure of a  nucleotide contains a  5-carbon sugar (Deoxyribose), phosphate group and one of the four nitrogenous bases.

Adenine and Thymine are nitrogenous bases found in DNA. Other nitrogenous bases are cytosine, guanine and uracil.

Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine are found in DNA whereas in RNA, Uracil is present instead of Thymine.

DNA is a double stranded structure.

In DNA, adenine of one strand always pairs with thymine of the other strand (complementary). Similarly, guanine of one strand pairs with cytosine of complementary strand. Adenine pairs with Thymine via 2 hydrogen bonds whereas cytosine pairs with guanine via 3 hydrogen bonds. This hydrogen bonding maintains the double helix structure of DNA.

It is implied that for every thymine present in DNA there will be adenine on the complementary stand with which it will bind via 2 hydrogen bonds.

So if a double stranded DNA sample contains 10% Thymine, then it will also contain 10% adenine. This makes the combined contribution of adenine and thymine to be 20%. The left over 80% of DNA will contain equal amounts of cytosine and guanine as each guanine binds with cytosine via 3 hydrogen bonds. So if we divide 80% into 2 equal parts then it is 40%. Hence, there is 40% guanine, 40% cytosine, 10% adenine and 10% thymine.

The percentage of guanine in a double-stranded DNA sample with 10% thymine is 40%, due to base pairing rules where adenine equals thymine and guanine equals cytosine.

The question is focused on understanding the relationship between the different nucleotide bases in a DNA molecule. According to Chargaff's rules, the amount of adenine (A) is equal to thymine (T), and the amount of guanine (G) is equal to cytosine (C). Given that the DNA sample is composed of 10% thymine, it follows that it must also be composed of 10% adenine since A pairs with T. Therefore, since adenine and thymine together make up 20% of the DNA bases (10% + 10%), and the total amount of DNA bases must equal 100%, the remaining 80% of the bases are guanine and cytosine. Because guanine pairs with cytosine, their percentages must be equal. So, guanine and cytosine will each account for half of the remaining 80%, which is 40%. Thus, the percentage of guanine in this DNA sample is 40%.

Answer:

-teeth in the jaws

-claws on the ends of each digit in the "hands"

-long, bony tail

Explanation:

Most of the reptiles have teeth on the jaw bone or broad teeth that make up their jaw.

A claw can be described as a curved appendage which can either be found at the end of fingers. This feature is common in reptiles.

The animals present in the reptiles group have known to possess tails. Usually, the tails are long in size

Hence, all these characteristics can be considered as reptilian characteristics.

Answer:

This is example of Inactivation of X chromosome.

Explanation:

In calico cats, Fur color is carried on Chromosome X. Female cats have two X chromosomes. When they have two X chromosomes, some of these X chromosomes in some cells throughout the body are INACTIVATED and they are seen as black dots under microscope. These black dots are called Barr Bodies. Normally calico cats have brown and white fur color, and also black color due to this barr bodies. X in activation or the formation of barr bodies are not observed in males because they have only one X chromosome.

Gametic isolation is a type of prezygotic barrier where the gametes (egg and sperm) come into contact, but no fertilization takes place. Gametes may be unable to recognize one another in different species.

Answer: Both cell types will undergo apoptosis

Explanation:

cytochrome C functions in the mitochondria and plays an important role in the synthesis of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). When a cell receives an apoptosis stimulus Cytochrome C is released from the mitochondria into the cystol to activate caspase cascade thereby committing the cell to the death process. Cytochrome C triggers programmed cell death through apoptosis. Cytochrome C release is caused by swelling of the mitochondrial matrix.

Answer:

d. directional selection

Explanation:

Directional selection is a form of natural selection that occurs when a particular extreme phenotype of a species is highly favored and thrives more than the other extreme phenotype. This is particularly influenced by environmental changes resulting in differences in the survival between both extreme phenotypes.

In the Galapagos Islands during drought, the seeds to be fed on by finches are mostly large in size, giving rise to the survival of only finches with large beak size of 9 mm to 10 mm as against finches with small beak size. Finches with large beak sizes are favored over  finches with phenotypic traits of small beak sizes.

Predators often target damaged or weaker individuals in a prey species, leading to higher survival rates for the fittest members. Batesian mimicry—where harmless species mimic the warning colors of harmful ones—is an example of how species evade predation.

Being able to detect damaged members of a prey species would be beneficial to individual prey as it would decrease loss through predation. Predators often target weaker or injured individuals as they are easier to catch. This could lead to an increase in survival rates of those who are healthy and fit.

For instance, some predators learn to avoid consuming particular prey due to their coloration. Other species have adapted to mimic this coloration to evade being consumed, even though they might not taste unpleasant or carry harmful toxins. This phenomenon is known as Batesian mimicry, where a benign species imitates the warning coloration of a dangerous one. As long as they share the same predators, this strategy serves to safeguard the harmless species. Many insect species mimic the coloration of wasps or bees, which are stinging, venomous insects, thereby discouraging predation.

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes basically used in genetic engineering. Particularly in recombinant DNA technology. Restriction enzymes have two properties, which are very much useful in recombinant DNA technology.

First, they cut DNA into fragments or small pieces. This cutting is done to make the size of the DNA into a suitable one for cloning purposes.  

Second, many restriction enzymes make staggered cuts that create single-stranded glutinous ends. These ends are favorable to the formation of recombinant DNA.

Restriction enzymes are used to cut DNA at specific recognition sites, allowing fragments of DNA to be spliced into another DNA molecule to create recombinant DNA. DNA ligase is used to join the cut DNA fragments together and create the final recombinant DNA molecule.

Restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, play a crucial role in the field of recombinant DNA technology. They are naturally occurring bacterial enzymes that cut DNA at specific recognition sites, which are usually palindromic sequences. These enzymes create fragments of DNA that can be spliced into another DNA molecule to form recombinant DNA. DNA ligase, on the other hand, is an enzyme that joins the cut DNA fragments together to create the recombinant DNA molecule.

Answer:

The studies of monozygotic or identical twins are used to analyze the degree of genetic influence versus the environmental contribution on a specific pathology, this is because monozygotic twins share 100% of their genes, meanwhile the dizygotic twins share only the 50% of their genes, approximately.  

The studies conducted on twins are a special type of epidemiological study because this relation allows the researchers to evaluate and compare the influence of genetic and environmental variables.  

Explanation:

Researchers have conducted twin’s studies to discuss the “nature and nurture” question, it is well known that genetics are associated with the environmental factors to produce the human individualities.  

However, the twin studies are a perfect model to evaluate the shared genetic and environmental factors for the trait of interest; in addition, it can help to estimate the proportion of variance in a particular genetic variation versus the amount of influence of shared or unshared environment. It also can reduce the amount of genetic and/or environmental variability in a genetic study.

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Undigested fats include all those fatty acid and lipids which do not have the ability to dissolve in water. This inability makes them difficult elements for digestion. All this undigested fat accumulates and reaches the intestine for digestion as globs. Globs are emulsified by the bile salts and are broken down into smaller fat droplets. The smaller fat droplets have large surface area and hence now they can be acted upon by the fat-digesting enzyme pancreatic lipase. Thus, the first set of enzymes that act upon the undigested fats in the intestine are pancreatic lipase

Hence, option A is correct

The enzymes that digest the majority of ingested fat are pancreatic lipases.

The enzyme group that digests the majority of ingested fat is pancreatic lipases. These enzymes are produced and secreted by the pancreas and work primarily in the small intestine, where they break down dietary fats into simpler compounds like fatty acids and glycerol. This is an essential part of the digestion and absorption process for fats in our diet. The option pepsin and stomach acid refers to the digestion of proteins in the stomach, while bile salts are produced in the liver and help to emulsify fats, preparing them for digestion by lipases. The lingual lipases, meanwhile, are secreted by the salivary glands and start the digestion of fats in the mouth, but their contribution to overall fat digestion is relatively minor.

Answer:

Sexual dimorphism.

Explanation:

Sexual selection may be defined as the mode of natural selection in which the species choose its mate and prevent the other's individual mating. This provide better reproductive success in nature.

The sexual selection depends upon the attractive colors, size and behavior of other partner. The sexual selection results in sexual dimorphism as the male and female of the species can be easily distinguished. Their mating organ, behavior are different in opposite sexes.

Thus, the correct answer is sexual dimorphism.  

Answer:

Rr

Explanation:

This cross is a typical example of a test cross. A test cross is a cross between a heterozygous F1 progeny (different alleles) and a homozygous recessive parent in order to determine the actual genotype of the dominant parent i.e. whether homozygous or heterozygous dominance. In a test cross, if any of the offsprings show a recessive phenotype, it means the dominant parent is heterozygous

In this case, the allele for smooth pea (R) is dominant over that of wrinked pea (r).

If a cross between a smooth pea plant and a wrinkled pea plant gave rise to 50% phenotypical wrinkled pea plants (rr genotype, because the wrinkled shape can only express itself if it is in a homozygous state), it means that the smooth pea parent plant is heterozygous for pea shape (Rr) i.e. the allele for smooth shape was masking that of wrinkled shape in the smooth pea parent plant.

Answer:

If natural selection over the time period of Eukaryote evolution has favored a DNA architecture in Eukaryotes that keeps genes turned off except when needed, this structure would be nucleosomes.

Explanation:

The nucleosome is the fundamental unit of "packaging" of eukaryotic DNA. This structure contains chromatin, which is a fundamental substance of the cell nucleus and consists of the combination of DNA with proteins. In eukaryotic cells the structure of chromatin is the organization in which DNA is presented in the cell nucleus, and is responsible for masking (protecting) certain sequences, while allowing free access to identical ones. Local chromatin has effects on gene expression, forming special structures that actively bring amplifiers closer to promoters. The active or open chromatin may contain regulatory sequences, promoters, transcribed sequences and regions bound to insulating chromatin proteins. Heterochromatin is a chromatin that is usually located in the vicinity of the nuclear envelope, here genes that are not normally expressed are located, although there are portions of DNA in the constitutive heterochromatin that are transcribed.

Answer: pumps, passive and active transport.

Explanation:

The plasma membrane separate the cell from external environmental, it is selectively permeable.

The plasma membrane is made of lipid bilayer. Only lipid soluble molecules can diffuse through the lipid layer. Water and ions are impermeable and require carrier mediated transport.The plasma membrane also contain integral protein that control the entry and exit of polar molecules and ions through transport mechanism.

Transport mechanism are

1. Passive transport

2. Active transport

3. Pumps

The plasma membrane regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell through selective permeability and processes like passive and active transport. Additionally, it contains protein channels and carrier proteins that assist in the transfer of specific molecules.

The plasma membrane, also known as the cell membrane, controls what enters and leaves the cell through its selective permeability. This means it only allows certain substances to cross it. This is achieved through various processes including passive transport (like diffusion and osmosis), where substances move from an area of high concentration to low concentration; and active transport, where the cell uses energy to move substances against their concentration gradient. Moreover, the plasma membrane also has protein channels and carrier proteins that assist in the tranportation of specific molecules.

Answer:

The right answer is D) D and E

Explanation:

All the organisms are classified into seven major groups or there are seven levels of classification in which organisms are divided. These are Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.

So here kingdom is the highest level of classification and species is the lowest level of classification. So as we move from kingdom towards species the homology increase and if we move from lower to higher level the homology between organism decreases.

So as the order is at the lower level than class therefore organisms in class will show the greatest degree of structural homology therefore D and E would be expected to show higher structural homology.
