The stages in the formation of the symbiotic relationship between the nitrogen-fixing bacteria and their host, Arrange the given statements of symbiotic association in a stepwise manner;

 a) Migration of the bacteria toward the roots of the host plant by a chemotactic response mediated by chemical attractants

b) NodD with the flavonoids bind with the Promoter region of  highly conserved the nod box

c) These attractants activate the rhizobial NodD protein,

d) The chemical attractants especially (iso)flavonoids and betaines, secreted by the roots

e) Binding of the activated NodD to the nod box induces transcription of the other nod genes

 Which of the following from the above statements are correct arrangement of symbiosis?

Following process and their mechanism during fertilization in mammals.

a. Rheotaxis	i.A sensing mechanism in which, the oocyte and its accompanying cumulus cells secrete molecules that attract capacitated sperm toward the egg during the last stages of sperm migration
b.  Chemotaxis	ii.It is a transient event, and sperm are given a relatively brief window of competence during which they can successfully fertilize the egg.
c.  Capacitation		iii.it is the ability to sense temperature difference and preferentially swim from cooler to warmer sites is found only in capacitated sperm.
d. Thermotaxis		iv.Sperm receive long-distance directional cues from the flow of liquid from the oviduct to the uterus and they will migrate against the direction of the flow—using CatSper calcium channels to sense calcium influx and monitor the direction of the current

According to Models of termination: torpedo and allosteric, which one is now the favored and why;

A. The Rat1 enzyme is very processive and quickly degrades the RNA in a 5’ -to-3’ direction, until it catches up to the still-transcribing polymerase from which the RNA is being spewed.

B. Termination depends on a conformational change in the elongating polymerase that reduces the processivity of the enzyme leading to spontaneous termination soon afterward.
