Answer:

D. mutation.

Explanation:

The substitution of one nucleotide base (such as C instead of T)  for another is mutation.

Mutation represents a change in the genome or genetic material (in form of DNA sequence) of an organism.

Each DNA has its own sequence which are important to be kept constant when copies are being made during replication.

<em>When a portion of a sequence in the DNA is deleted, substituted, inverted or repeated due to an error during replication, this can have a serious effect on the protein that will be translated during gene expression. Such DNA is said to have mutated.</em>

The correct option is D

Answer:

Negatively repressible.

Explanation:

A control which occurs through repressor is known as negative control which may be inducible or repressible.

When a small molecule named as allolactose binds this repressor it leads to allosteric repulsion which removes repressor from the operator as a result of which RNA polymerase can start transcription. Allolactose is therefore known as inducer because it induces lac operon expression.

But here, the operator is active (induced) already so there is no need to induce the operon which means that it can only be repressed so that transcription could stop. So the answer is negatively repressible operon.
