Answer:

The correct answer would be the first option.

Molecular clocks compare the nucleotide sequence of DNA or RNA between two species estimate the time they diverged from each other.

The number of mutation present in the nucleotide sequences of two specied provide this estimation.

The more the number of mutation the earlier they diverged from each other.

A fictional bacterial operon is responsible for the production of the biosynthetic enzymes needed to make the theoretical amino
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

a. The operon is under positive control

a.) Loss of enzyme synthesis results from loss of regulatory R gene product which is regulated in the presence of Tis ophane for transcription. Absence of (Tis), transcription is positively controlled by regulatory Rprotein

b.) The proposed model reveals Tis / B complex prevents Tis enzymes from undergoing transcription through the RB operator by binding to the B region

the role of the R protein is

-decrease affinity of Tis / B complex to B region of RB

-bind to the R region on RB

- change the conformation of B region

- yield decreased affinity of Tis / B complex when R gene is lacking preventing transcription in the process

Effects of the RB mutations is that R protein will not bind to Tis / B complex to reduce transcription
