Answer: The correct answer is- A) chromosome.

Chromosome can be described as thread like structure that is composed of nucleic acid DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid), which is tightly wound around histone protein many times that support its overall structure.

They are found in the cells of living organisms as very long strands.

The nucleic acid DNA is made of small units called nucleotides ( that contain nitrogenous base, phosphate, and deoxyribose sugar).

Genes ( segment of DNA that correspond to particular protein) are located on chromosomes and they are inherited by offspring from their parents.

Allele is the variant of a gene ( alternative form of a gene).

Thus, option A) is the right answer.

Aneli [31]

Answer:

GlnA will be overexpressed and the cells will have more glutamine than glutamate

Explanation:

Glutamine synthetase (glnA) is an enzyme involved in nitrogen metabolism that catalyzes the amidation of glutamate to glutamine. Moreover, the phosphorylated form of the NtrC response regulator protein (NtrC~P) acts as a transcriptional activator of genes associated with nitrogen metabolism, including glnA. NtrC~P exhibits 1-an enhanced DNA binding activity (increased oligomerization on the target DNA template) and 2-ATPase activity (oligomerization of the NtrC phosphoprotein), which are fundamental features for transcriptional activation. In consequence, it is expected that a higher level of NtrC~P (due to a defective form of the phosphatase that dephosphorylates NtrC~P) leads to the overexpression of glnA, thereby increasing glutamine levels and simultaneously decreasing glutamate concentration.

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

It isn't any of the others and the competitive exclusion principle talks about how two similar species cannot coexist under the same resources for long. I suppose you could conclude they were trying to fullfill the same niche, but only under the assumption of comp. exclusion. So just B.
