Unit 2 Short Answer Question (Do NOT leave blank): Use the following words to fill in the blanks: transcription, dairy products, enzymes, proteins, repressor, rna polymerase, lactose intolerant, lactase, operator, ecoli, transcribe, bases, repressor, operator.

An example of prokaryotic gene expression is the lac operon. When a person is 1), they do not produce the enzyme 2), which aids in the digestion of lactose, the sugar found in 3). If a person who is lactose intolerant eats or drinks a dairy product, lactose travels down the digestive tract into the large intestine, where the genes in the bacteria, 4) , are turned on to create the 5) / 6) needed to digest the lactose. In E. Coli, when lactose is present, it acts as an inducer and binds to the 7) protein, keeping it from attaching to the 8). 9) then is able to attach to and 10) the E. Coli gene by matching up the 11). When lactose is NOT present, the 12) protein binds to the 13 and transcription is blocked. This is an example of gene expression (production of proteins) being controlled at 14).

Mantle convection  is the slow  creepingmotion of earth's solid silicate  mantle  caused by  convection  currents carrying  heat from the interior  to the planet's surface.[1][2]  the earth's surface  lithosphere, which rides atop the  asthenosphere  (the two components of the  upper mantle), is divided into a number of  plates  that are continuously being created and consumed at their opposite  plate boundaries. accretion occurs as mantle is added to the growing edges of a plate, associated with  seafloor spreading. this hot added material cools down by  conduction  and  convection  of heat. at the consumption edges of the plate, the material has thermally contracted to become dense, and it sinks under its own weight in the process of  subduction  usually at an  ocean trench.[3]this subducted material sinks through the earth's interior. some subducted material appears to reach the lower mantle,[4]  while in other regions, this material is impeded from sinking further, possibly due to a phase transition from  spinel  to  silicate perovskiteand  magnesiowustite, an  endothermic reaction.[5]the subducted oceanic crust triggers  volcanism, although the basic mechanisms are varied. volcanism may occur due to processes that add buoyancy to partially melted mantle causing an upward flow due to a decrease in density of the partial melt.secondary forms of convection that may result in surface volcanism are postulated to occur as a consequence of intraplate extension[6]  and  mantle plumes.[7]it is because the mantle can convect that the  tectonic plates  are able to move around the earth's surface.[8]mantle convection seems to have been much more active during the  hadean  period, resulting in gravitational sorting of heavier molten  iron, and  nickel  elements and  sulphides  in the core, and lighter  silicate minerals  in the  mantle.

What is the difference between cytokinesis in plant and animal cells? animal cells dived by a cleavage furrow. plant cells divide by a cell plate that eventually becomes the cell wall. cytoplasm and cell membranes are necessary for cytokinesis in both plant and animals.

It explains why rocks appear in layers

The answer to this would be choice b (diplod)
