When bacteria is divided in to two it is called binary fission, but there is also a process called conjugation

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.
The hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is indicated by its <u>pH </u>value.
Explanation:
- A measure of acidity or alkalinity of water soluble substances (pH stands for 'potential of Hydrogen'). A pH value is a number from 1 to 14, with 7 as the middle point.
- Under normal circumstances this means that the concentration of hydrogen ions in acidic solution can be taken to be equal to the concentration of the acid.
- The pH is then equal to minus the logarithm of the concentration value.
- Values below 7 indicate acidity which increases as the number decreases, 1 being the most acidic.
- The pH of a solution is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration, which in turn is a measure of its acidity.
- Pure water dissociates slightly into equal concentrations of hydrogen and hydroxyl (OH−) ions. For a neutral solution, [H+] is 10−7, or pH = 7.
