Explanation / Answer

Answer:

B)

Initiation of transcription of gene is located on a region of DNA known as "Promoter" Transcription in prokaryotic DNA is intitiated at a promoter region. Prokaryotic promoter region as two short sequences towards upstream (5') known as

1) -10 element, at this promoter region, it has consensus sequence known as TATAAT.

2) -35 element, at this promoter region, it has consensus sequence known asTTGACA.

D)

RNA sequence of the ribosomal binding site: AGGAGG (consensus), this sequence is also known as Shine dalgaro sequence.
