The false statement is: (a) Transcriptional regulators usually interact with the sugar–phosphate backbone on the outside of the double helix to determine which DNA sequence to bind.
Transcriptional regulator or factor is protein with the ability to control and regulate gene expression at the transcription level by binding to DNA. Transcriptional factors have domain-DNA-binding domain which contains structural motif that recognizes DNA and it is responsible for the attachment to specific DNA sequence. It usually binds to the DNA major groove (hydrogen bonding) because it is less degenerate than that of the DNA minor groove.
Transcriptional factors also contain trans-activating domain for the binding of other proteins and signal-sensing domain for the detection of external signals.

C) Lysozyme
this is an enzyme that kills bacteria
Answer:
Indivisuals with producing an abnormal form of extracellular protein fibrillin are suffering from Marfan syndrome ehich is caused by genetic mutation in the FBN1 gene.
Explanation:
Gene mutations in FBN1 gene results in the production of an abnormal extracellular matrix fibrillin-1 protein that cannot function properly. These gene mutations basically reduce the amount of fibrillin-1 produced by the cell, alter the structure of fibrillin-1, or causes the impairment of the transport of fibrillin-1 out of the cell.
As a result, protein is poorly incorporated into extracellular matrix. Hence, indivisuals with Marfan syndrome present following symptoms
Tall stature.
Disproportionately long arms, legs and fingers.
Sternum either protrudes outward or dips inward.
Arched palate and crowded teeth.
Heart murmurs.
Extreme nearsightedness.
Answer:
Parental genotypes: RrBb, RRBB
Offspring phenotype: Running and black hair
Explanation:
Given, Running (R) is dominant over waltzing (r)
Black hair (B) is dominant over brown hair (b)
Parent 1: Heterozygous running, heterozygous black = RrBb
Parent 2: Homozygous running, homozygous black = RRBB
When they mate ( RrBb X RRBB ) :
Gametes produced by RrBb = RB, Rb, rB, rb
Gametes produced by RRBB = RB
Offspring:
RB Rb rB rb
RB RRBB RRBb RrBB RrBb
All offspring mice will be running mice and will have black hair because all the four types of genotype at least have one dominant allele for both the genes.
