Select the two correct statements out of the four (1-4) given below about lac operon. 1. Glucose or galactose may bind with the repressor and inactivate it 2. In the absence of lactose the repressor binds with the operator region 3. The z-gene codes for permease 4. This was elucidated Francois Jacob and Jacque Monod The correct statements are :

Repressible operon system is usually found in (i)____ pathways. The pathway's end product serves as a (ii) ______ to activate the repressor, turn off enzyme synthesis and prevent overproduction of the end product of the pathway. Genes for this operon are usually switched (iii)_____ and the repressor is synthesised in an (iv)_____ .

Which of the following statements given below are true with reference to muscle contraction. I. Neurotransmitter acetycholine is released as nerve impulse reaches the end of axon and binds to receptor sites of motor end plate. II. Action potential passes from motor end plate over sarcoplasmic and then into the T-tubules and sarcoplasmic reticulum. III. Calcium ion are released into the sarcoplasm bind to troponin, causing a change in its shape and position. IV. Myosin cross bridges are able to bind to exposed active sites of actin. Choose the correct option.

The lac operon consists of a regulation gene and three structural gene. The lactose acts as inducer. In the presence of an Inducer such as lactose, the repressor is in inactivated during the interaction. This allows RNA polymerase access to the promoter and transcription proceeds. The repressor is synthesized which in turn binds with the operator region of the operon and prevents RNA polymerase from transcribing the operon. The lac operon of E. coli contains genes involved in lactose metabolism. It's expressed only when lactose is _____ (1)and glucose is _____(2).

Read the following statements and select the correct option : I. In the skeletal muscles fibre, large number of myofilaments are arranged in the sarcoplasmic . II. The central part of an anisotropic band where the only thick , filament is present and thin filament is absent is called 'A' band. III. In the resting state , a tropomyosin protein masks the active b binding sites for myosin on the active filaments . IV. The junction between a motor neuron and the sarcolemma of the muscle fibres is called motor-end plate.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions : The crystal field theory (CFT) is an electrostatic model which considers the metal-ligand bond to be ionic arising purely from electrostatic interactions between the metal ion and the ligand. Ligands are treated as point charges in case of anions or dipoles in case of neutral molecules. The five d orbitals in an isolated gaseous metal atom/ion have same energy, i.e., they are degenerate. This degeneracy is maintained if a spherically symmetrical field of negative charges surrounds the metal atom/ ion. However, when this negative field is due to ligands (either anions or the negative ends of dipolar molecules like NH_(3) and H_(2)O ) in a complex, it becomes asymmetrical and the degeneracy of the d orbitals is lifted. It results in splitting of the d orbitals. A chelating agent has two or more than two donor atoms to bind to a single metal ion. Which of the following is not a chelating agent ?
