A deletion mutation occuring in the region of DNA which encodes for a sigma subunit of RNA polymerase results in decreased bindi

Answer:

The correct answer is - a reduced expression of alpha, beta, and omega subunits of RNA polymerase.

Explanation:

Sigma subunit of RNA polymerase is the subunit that the holoenzyme, the other part of the enzyme, identifies and attaches with the specific DNA site called promotors that is responsible for coding the alpha, beta, and omega subunits of this enzyme.

As it is given that there is a deletion in the sigma subunit due to mutation that results in decreased the sigma factor's binding affinity to the promoter region. That ultimately leads to less or unable to bind properly to the promoter and the level of gene expression to fall or be reduced.

This question had choices. These are the missing choices.
A) Scientists made careful observations of behavioral patterns.
B) The DNA mutation rates for both species was calculated and compared.
C) Scientists made a detailed analysis of the fossilized bones of each species.
D) The enzyme activity of each species was studied to determine similarities in metabolism.

My answer:
C) Scientists made a detailed analysis of the fossilized bones of each species.

This determination is the only feasible thing to do since dinosaurs are long dead and choices A, B, and D requires the subjects to be alive.

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

B. 2 : 0 : 2

Explanation:

In a punnet square, the alleles would be Tt, Tt, tt, tt. So, you have 2/4 or 50% of the genotype Tt, and 2/4 or 50% of the genotype tt.
