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

Biology

Natalija [7]2 years ago

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.

The following are required steps in the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction:
Olenka [21]

Answer:

In muscles contraction the correct order of the steps are: A (Nerve impulse reaches the muscle), B (Action potential travels down T-tubules), C (Calcium binds to troponin), D (Tropomyosin moves).

Explanation:

Skeletal muscle contractions are based on different physiological and biochemical phenomena that happen in every cell. These phenomena are due to stimulation produced by somatic motor neurons, which axons get in contact with muscle fibers through a neuromuscular synapse.  In rest, attraction strengths between myosin and actin filaments are inhibited by the tropomyosin. When an action potential is originated in the central nervous system, it travels to the somatic motor neuron membrane: the muscle fiber, and activates the calcium channels releasing it in the neuron. Calcium makes vesicles to fuse with the membrane and release the neurotransmitter named acetylcholine (Ach) into the synaptic space in the juncture. Then, Ach binds to its receptors on the skeletal muscle fiber. This causes the ion channels to open, and positively charged sodium ions cross the membrane to get into the muscle fiber (sarcoplasm) and potassium get out. The difference in charges caused by the migration of sodium and potassium makes the muscle fiber membrane to become more positively charged (depolarized). The action potential caused by this depolarization enters the t-tubules depolarizing the inner portion of the muscle fiber. This activates calcium channels in the T tubules membrane, that make the calcium be released into the sarcolemma. At this point, tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament. When calcium binds to the troponin C, the troponin T alters the tropomyosin by moving it and then unblocks the binding sites. Myosin binds to the uncovered actin-binding sites, and while doing it ATP is transformed into ADP and inorganic phosphate. Z-bands are then pulled toward each other, thus shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, and producing muscle fiber contraction.

Analysis of stable carbon isotopes in ________ can provide information on ancient diet.
tino4ka555 [31]
<span>The answer is bone. A new technique of observing Harris lines (between the diaphysis and epiphysis of long bones), by use of radiography, of bone is being used to postulate ancient diet of populations. This is especially used to determine stressful periods that were characterized by poor diet (deficiencies) by comparing carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios</span>

Collection of abiotic and biotic factors in an environment is
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

\boxed{\bold{Ecosystem}}

Explanation:

  • Collection of abiotic and biotic factors in an environment is an <u>ecosystem</u>

<u></u>

An ecosystem is a complex system that contains biotic and abiotic factors. These abiotic and biotic factors interact with each other, keeping the ecosystem and environment moving along. The biotic and abiotic components are linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows.
