It is a behavioral adaptation. 

There are three types of adaptations: 
Structural - body parts that help it survive (e.g. color, size, shape)
Physiological - systems present in an organism that allow it a special feature (e.g. venom, skin color changes)
Behavioral - an action that allows the organism to better survive

Which location in the cell is unlikely to contain ribosomes and ribosomal subunits?
Zina [86]

The correct answer is Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum.  

Ribosomes are distinct from other organelles as they possess no membrane enveloping them, which differs from other organelles, they comprise of two subunits, and when they are generating some of the proteins they can turn membrane bound to the ER.  

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not possess ribosomes on its surface and thus does not take part in the formation of proteins. The SER has been found to take part in the synthesis of steroids.

Regulatory proteins typically contain sites that can bind to other proteins or small molecules. Through such binding interaction
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Regulatory sites e.g enhancers and silencers

Explanation:

Gene expression involves the synthesis of gene products usually proteins and RNA. However, a certain product might not be needed at all or in small quantity. Gene regulation mechanism is the process that makes this happen. Gene regulation is the mechanism that acts to induce or repress the expression of a gene.

Gene regulation involves controlling the rate and manner of gene expression which is achieved through a set of regulatory proteins called transcription factors. Transcription factors bind to specific regulatory nucleotide sequences and help to turn "on or off" specific genes in the DNA.

Transcription factors can either be ACTIVATORS or REPRESSORS depending on whether they boost or inhibit gene expression. The binding sites for these regulatory proteins called TRANSCRIPTION factors are the regulatory nucleotide sequences on the DNA called enhancers and silencers.
