A deletion mutation occuring in the region of DNA which encodes for a sigma subunit of RNA polymerase results in decreased binding to the promoter region of the DNA sequence which encodes for alpha, beta, and omega subunits of RNA polymerase. What is the effect

The correct answer is - a reduced expression of alpha, beta, and omega subunits of RNA polymerase.

Explanation:

Sigma subunit of RNA polymerase is the subunit that the holoenzyme, the other part of the enzyme, identifies and attaches with the specific DNA site called promotors that is responsible for coding the alpha, beta, and omega subunits of this enzyme.

As it is given that there is a deletion in the sigma subunit due to mutation that results in decreased the sigma factor's binding affinity to the promoter region. That ultimately leads to less or unable to bind properly to the promoter and the level of gene expression to fall or be reduced.

the answer would be 2, if crossing over doesn’t occur 2 out of 4 of the daughter cells will have that allele.

hope this : )

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
