Answer:

Base

Explanation:

A base is a substance which releases hydroxyl ion (OH-). Bases are also known as alkalis and physically they are soapy and bitter in taste. In litmus paper test, they give blue color. An acid on the other hand is a substance which releases a proton or Hydrogen ion (H+). Acid and base both react to form a salt and the process is known as neutralization reaction. We have a pH scale which has a range from 0 to 14. If a substance has a pH more than 7 then that means it is a base but if a substance has pH less than 7 then the substance is acid.

One of the examples of base is sodium hydroxide (NaOH) which dissociates into Na+ & OH- to release OH-.

lara [203]

Answer:

Explanation:

Operator region are region of DNA (deoxyribonucliec acid) that repressors protein binds to prevent transcription.

A repressor functions when its bounded to the operator and it prevent enzyme RNA (ribonucliec acid)polymerase from moving to DNA to transcribe the nitrogenous bases by placing a complementary base pair.

Activators are other regulatory proteins that bounds to its DNA binding site and increases transcription of the operon.

Some slime molds have some morphological similarities to fungi such as during times of stress they will develop into fruiting bo
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option - D.

Explanation:

Slime moulds are the fungus-like protists which bear a structure called sporangium which produces spores.  The sporangium is produced in fungi as well due to which these protists are called fungus-like.  Although both produce sporangium but they are not closely related, rather they are distantly related organisms.

The appearance of a sporangium in both indicates that they had faced the same conditions due to which they both showed the same adaptation by producing the same structures performing the same function. In evolutionary terms, this is an example of convergent evolution.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.
