Based on the current understanding of this operon, which hypothesis would be useful for James to test? Addition of allolactose to the bacterial growth media should increase the speed at which the bacteria metabolize the sugar lactose.
Removal of the RNA polymerase molecule should increase the amount of bacterial growth on the plate.
Decreasing the amount of allolactose in the bacterial growth media should increase the rate of bacterial growth.
Increasing the rate at which RNA polymerase acts will inhibit bacterial growth.

Fruit bats in central america eat bananas and other fruits. banana plants rely on bats for pollination. what would be the most likely consequence on the banana crop if fruit bats were eliminated from the area? the banana crop would increase because bats would stop eating the crops. the banana crop would decrease because bats would no longer pollinate the crops. the banana crop would remain constant because bees would replace the bats. the banana crop would remain constant because the plants would adapt using asexual reproduction.
