During  a  field  trip,  an  instructor  touched  a  moth  resting  on  a  tree  trunk.  The  moth  raised  its  forewings  to  reveal large eyespots on its hind wings. The instructor asked why the moth lifted its wings. One student answered that sensory  receptors  had  fired  and  triggered  a  neuronal  reflex  culminating  in  the  contraction  of  certain  muscles.  A second student responded that the behaviour might frighten predators. Which statement best describes these explanations?

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. The first explanation is correct, but the second is incorrect.
  2. The first explanation refers to proximate causation, whereas the second refers to ultimate causation. 
  3. The first explanation is biological, whereas the second is philosophical.
  4. The first explanation is testable as a scientific hypothesis, whereas the second is not

II) σs

b) Genes involved in flagellum assembly             

III) σ32

c) Genes for nitrogen metabolism and other functions

IV) σE

d) Housekeeping genes, most genes in exponentially replicating cells

V) σF

e) Activated by unfolded proteins in the periplasmic space and cell membrane; genes encoding proteins that restore integrity to the cellular envelope

The sequence of σ54 is distinctly different from that of all the σ70-like factors, some characteristics about σ54 is given below;

a) The σ54-RNA polymerase binds to the glnA promoter and immediately melt the DNA strands and initiate transcription

b) σ54-polymerase does not require ATP hydrolysis to separate the strands at a start site only require activator such as   NtrC

c) σ54-RNA polymerase initiate transcription of glnA promoter only when it is activated by NtrC

d) ATP hydrolysis is required for activation of bound σ54-RNA polymerase by phosphorylated NtrC

Which of the following from the bove combination is INCORRECT?
