There are three essential nod gene for every bacterial species that is−NodA, NodB and NodC, that are required for synthesizing this basic structure such as;

a) NodA is an N-acyltransferase that catalyzes the addition of a fatty acyl chain

b) NodB is a chitin-oligosaccharide synthase that links the acetyl group of the terminal nonreducing sugar

c) NodC is a chitin-oligosaccharide synthase that links N-acetyl-D-glucosamine monomers

d) NodB is a chitin-oligosaccharide deacetylase that removes the acetyl group from the terminal nonreducing sugar

e) NodC is a chitin-oligosaccharide deacetylase that removes links N-acetyl-D-glucosamine monomers

Which of the following statements about NOD Factor is incorrect?

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

Bacteriophage λ, has two mode of life cycle;  lytic and lysogenic.  In the lytic growth

a) a single Cro dimer is bound to OR3; this site overlaps PRM and so Cro represses that promoter

b) Repressor bound at OR1 and OR2 blocks RNA polymerase binding at PR, repressing transcription from that promoter

c) PR and PL binds RNA polymerase and directs transcription of lytic genes

d) During lytic, PRM is on while PR (and PL) are off

Find the correct combinations of lytic growth.

Some given characteristics of repressor such as;

 I) λ-repressor and

II) cro-repressor

a) A repressor binds DNA as a dimer

b) A repressor work as both activator and repressor

c) Repressor is a single-domain protein

d) Repressor binds to operator sites cooperatively

e) Only represses transcription, like the Lac repressor

#Question id: 4684

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

The depicted region contains two genes (cI and cro) and three promoters (PR, PL, and PRM), these promoters are direct the transcription such as;

a) PR and PL are is a weak promoter and only directs efficient transcription when an activator is bound just upstream

b) PR and PL are strong, constitutive promoters, they bind RNA polymerase efficiently and direct transcription without     help from an activator

c) PRM, is a weak promoter and only directs efficient transcription when an activator is bound just upstream

d) PRM are strong, constitutive promoters, they bind RNA polymerase efficiently and direct transcription without help from an activator

Which of the following from the above combination is correct ?
