The harmless scarlet king snake and the venomous eastern coral snake have similar band patterns and are the same color and size. For the scarlet king snake, the adaptation of having a banding
pattern like the eastern coral snake's is known as mimicry.
The outcome of this adaptation in the scarlet king snake is to -
A. Protect the scarlet king snake from its predators
B. Allow the scarlet king snake to interbreed with other snake
C. Make it easier for the scarlet king snake to attract prey
D. Allow the scarlet king snake to blend in with its environment

A. Protect the scarlet king snake from its predators

Explanation: Good luck! :D

A. Protect the scarlet king snake from its predators

Explanation:

The lac repressor

Explanation:

In prokaryotic cells, an operon is a set of genes under the control of a single promoter which are transcribed together as a single messenger RNA (mRNA). In Escherichia coli, the lac operon is an operon containing genes involved in lactose metabolism, which is expressed when lactose is present and glucose is absent. This lac repressor is a DNA-binding protein that binds to a specific DNA sequence called the operator, thereby inhibiting transcription of the lac operon when lactose is present. When lactose is present, this disaccharide is converted into allolactose, which acts as an inducer by binding to the repressor, thereby the repressor dissociates from the operator and it allows the expression of the lac genes.
