Which statement is not true about the binding of TBP (TATA binding protein)?

#Part-A Aptitude & General Biotechnology
  1. The TBP subunit is only required for the initiation of transcription of class II genes.

  2. The binding of TBP to DNA distorts the DNA out of the standard B-DNA form.

  3. Contacts between TBP and DNA are mainly in the minor groove.

  4. TBP forms a saddle-shaped molecular clamp that surrounds DNA at the TATA box.

When an ionic compound such as sodium chloride (NaCl) is placed in water, the component atoms of the NaCl crystal dissociate into individual sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-). In contrast, the atoms of covalently bonded molecules (e.g., glucose, sucrose, glycerol) do not generally dissociate when placed in aqueous solution. Which of the following solutions would be expected to contain the greatest number of solute particles (molecules or ions)?
