Do crabs lay eggs?

Horseshoe crabs reproduce in the spring. They migrate to sand flats during high tides where they mate and lay eggs. Male horseshoe crabs walk up and down the beaches waiting for the female crabs to arrive.

The female crab then digs a nest in the sand and the male fertilizes the eggs as she drops them into the nest. Females can lay several clutches of eggs each season. It takes the eggs between two and five weeks to hatch. Baby horseshoe crabs are in a larval state when t..

What is "lac operon"?

The lac Z gene encodes for the enzyme beta-galactosidase, which converts lactose into galactose and glucose. The lac Y gene corresponds to the enzyme beta-galactoside permease, which moves lactose into cells so that beta-galactosidase can convert it into other sugars for energy. This enzyme is also called lactose permease. Finally, the lac A gene encodes the enzyme beta-galactoside transacetylase, which transfers an acetyl group onto lactose. Unlike the lac Z and lac Y genes, the lac A gene is not required for lactose metabolism in bacteria.\nSeveral mutations in the various lac operon genes h..
