An example of prokaryotic gene expression is the lac operon. When a person is , they do not produce the enzyme . Lactase aids in the digestion of lactose, the sugar found in . If a person is lactose intolerant and eats dairy, lactose travels farther down the digestive tract into the large intestine, where the genes in the bacteria, , are turned on. Since the person can’t digest the lactose, E. coli wants to use it as an energy source. The activated genes in E. coli will create the / needed to digest the lactose. In E. coli, when lactose is present, lactose acts as an inducer and binds to the protein, keeping it from attaching to the . When the repressor is blocked from attaching, will attach and the gene by matching up . When lactose is NOT present, the protein binds to the and transcription is blocked. This is an example of gene expression (production of proteins) being controlled at .

Ry was studying two populations of the same species of lizards. one population lived on an island and the other lived on the mainland. both populations were affected by a hurricane that hit the island and the mainland with equal force. a year later, henry was testing the gene frequency and saw a decrease in genetic variation in the island species, but not in the mainland species. which best describes a conclusion he might have reached? gene flow greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover. genetic drift greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover. gene flow greatly affects large populations, but small populations can recover. genetic drift greatly affects large populations, but small populations can recover.
