In the diagram below, the plane drawn behind the peptide bond indicates the:
A) absence of rotation around the C—N bond because of its partial double-bond character.
B) plane of rotation around the Ca—N bond.
C) region of steric hindrance determined by the large C=O group.
D) region of the peptide bond that contributes to a Ramachandran plot.

The diagram below represents a hypothetical operon in the bacterium E. coli. The operon consists of two structural genes (A and B) that code for the enzymes A-ase and B-ase, respectively, and also includes P (promoter) and O (operator) regions as shown.
When a certain compound (X) is added to the growth medium of E. coli, the separate enzymes A-ase and B-ase are both synthesized at a 50-fold higher rate than in the absence of X (which has a molecular weight of about 200). Which one of the following statements is true of such an operon?
