Answer:
d. Genes that play a role in the same metabolic pathway are organized into an operon.
Explanation:
In prokaryotic organisms like bacteria, polycistronic mRNAs exist which means that each gene does not have a separate promoter of its own. In fact many genes are under the control of a single promoter. These genes being a part of same metabolic pathway are organized into an operon. For example, lac operon and tryptophan operon. In lac operon, three genes named as β-galactosidase, permease and transacetylase are expressed under a single promoter which is known as lac promoter.
In contrast to this, in eukaryotes the mRNAs are monocistronic i.e. only a single gene is controlled under a single promoter.
There are many types of mutations. Due to some properties of the DNA, some mutations can be harmless, some can change the function of a cell. A cancerous cell is a cell that don't stop to be made because of a malfuntion of the DNA or a chimical factor.<span>

At least 40 percent of the world’s economy and 80 percent of the needs of the poor are derived from biological resources. In addition, the richer the diversity of life, the greater the opportunity for medical discoveries, economic development, and adaptive responses to such new challenges as climate change.
Answer:
Humus (hummus) is a dark organic matter in the soil which is produced by the decay of leaves or twigs (leaf litter). The litter is decayed in the soil by the action of microbial communities and chemcial reactions (together called as biogeochemical reactions). This process is also known as decomposition. The higher humus content in the soil makes it more fertile because there are more nutrients releasing due to increased turnover of the decomposing bacteria. Further, humus formation is increased if more water (moisture content) and oxygen is available.
