Keeping in mind the life cycle of bacteriophages, consider the following problem: during the reproductive cycle of a temperate bacteriophage, the viral dna inserts into the bacterial chromosome where the resultant prophage behaves much like a trojan horse. it can remain quiescent, or it can become lytic and initiate a burst of progeny viruses. several operons maintain the prophage state by interacting with a repressor that keeps the lytic cycle in check. insults (ultraviolet light, for example) to the bacterial cell lead to a partial breakdown of the repressor, which in turn causes the production of enzymes involved in the lytic cycle. as stated in this simple form, would you consider this system of regulation to be operating under positive or negative control?

Ihave no idea how to solve these. plus there's another question that is 2) a 10 kilogram meteorite is collected in space and brought back to earth. it is composed of 1.25 kg of uranium-238 and 8.75 kg of lead-206. how many u-238 half lives have passed? what is the approximate age of the meteorite?

Suppose you are provided with an actively dividing culture of e. coli bacteria to which radioactive thymine has been added. what would happen if a cell replicates once in the presence of this radioactive base?
