Explanation:

The  Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance, basically answer the question: where are genes found in a cell?

It was described by Sutton and Boveri between 1902-1903 and states that individual genes are found at specific locations on particular chromosomes. It also postulates that the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis can explain why genes are inherited according to Mendel’s laws.

It states:

- Chromosomes, like Mendel's genes, come in matched (homologous) pairs in an organism:  one member comes from the mother and one from the father.

- The members of a homologous pair separate in meiosis, so each sperm or egg receives just one member. This is referred as the law of segregation.

-The members of different chromosome pairs are sorted into gametes independently of one another in meiosis.

When a bacterial cell is present in an environment where both lactose and glucose are present, the glucose will be metabolized f
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Option (A).

Explanation:

Lac operon system in bacteria explains the lactose metabolism in the cell. The first operon system was discovered by Jacob and Monod. Operon may be defined as the cluster of genes that are transcribed as a single RNA unit.

The bacteria uses glucose if glucose and lactose are present in the media. The bacterial cell can recognize the glucose presence as CAP-cAMP complex are required for the process of transcription and the complex level is low in the presence of glucose. This way bacteria turns off transcription for lactose genes even when the lactose is present.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Vaselesa [24]

The statement that organisms that have a physical trait that makes it easier for them to access food supplies are unlikely to pass on that trait to their offspring is false. Organisms pass their traits and adaptation abilities to their offspring. These organisms have also characteristics that are advantageous for reproduction in a specific environment and leave more offspring in the next generation. The process is called natural selection.

Explain in detail how galen, a physician during the middle ages, expanded on hippocrates’ theory of the four humors and explain
Ann [662]
<span>Hippocrates believed that there are four humors in human body which need balance for a healthy being. These were:
Blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile.</span>
Galen expanded the idea of the humors and introduced four temperaments which were these:
choleric (hot / dry), melancholic (cold / dry), sanguine (warm / moist), and phlegmatic (cold / moist).
Another expansion Galen did was that he gave each humor/temperament physical and psychological qualities and said that even the food items have an association with the certain humor, those foods can effect certain humor in certain ways.
