Which response best explains why promoters for the same sigma subunit do not have identical sequences?

The correct response is,
the sequences within the promoter region at -10 and -35 are the most important for recognition by the sigma subunit.
Promoter region is the DNA sequence located upstream of the corresponding gene. Promoters for genes are essential as RNA polymerase recognizes the promoter region and binds to it forming the holoenzyme complex which can inititate transcription of the gene located downstream.
Sigma factor is the transcription factor found in bacteria, RNA polymerase has a subunit for the sigma factor, this factor only can recognise the sequences in the promoter region and bind to it thus initiating transcription. 

Promoters usually have 2 parts of conserved regions, -10 element and -35 elements. Both these regions have conserved sequences.
The sigma factor is capable of identifying these conserved sequences at these particular locations of the promoter and can bind to these sequences.
once the sigma factor binds to these regions, RNA polymerase too binds and forms a transcription initiation complex and then transcription of the downstream gene is initiated.

Therefore promoters need not have identical sequences for the sigma factor to bind, as long as the -10 and -35 regions have conserved sequences the sigma factor can bind and transcription initiation will be followed.

This enables the differential expression of genes. While the sigma promoter is canonically placed upstream of genes at position -10 and -35 across organisms, they differ slightly in sequence. This allows for the binding of sigma factors of RNA polymerase by different affinities across different gene promoters. Expression of genes will, therefore, be high where the sigma factors bind with high affinity and vice versa.

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The question that can be answered with the F2 cross would be <u>if the yellow flower color is dominant over the red flower color in the species</u>. In other words, <u>whether the inheritance of flower color follows a simple Mendelian inheritance or otherwise can be answered.</u>

<em>Assuming that the inheritance of the flower color follows the Mendelian pattern, the red flower trait would re-emerge among the F2 offspring and the ratio of yellow to red flower offspring would approximately be equal to</em><em> 3:1.</em><em> Otherwise, a more complex pattern of inheritance would be involved.</em>

Answer:

C. 3 indirect transmissions

Explanation:

In epidemiology, direct transmission is considered to occur when an individual has direct contact with a pathogen, which infects him and develops a disease. Indirect infections, on the other hand, occur when individuals come into contact with the pathogen through a transmission vehicle.

In this case, we can conclude that in the question above, there were 3 cases of indirect transmission. This is because all people who had contact with the pathogen, established that contact through the contaminated marker. In this case, the marker is a transmission vehicle.
