Answer:

The correct answer is - option d.  

Explanation:

A riboswitch is an mRNA segment that regulates the change in production of the proteins in the result of binding to a small molecule. In other words, these are folded RNA that regulates on and off the production of the protein synthesis like a switch so-called riboswitch.

This switching on and off the protein synthesis takes place in response to the change in the environment. These regulating segments control the gene expression at very different levels, transcription, translation, and splicing.

Thus, the correct answer is - option D.

Answer: D) changes in the environment

Explanation: Riboswitches are regulatory segments of a messenger RNA by binding small molecules. Riboswitches have two functional domains: The aptamer domain which which recognizes and binds the effector molecules and the expression platform which has a secondary structural switch that comes in contact with the translational machinery. They regulate protein synthesis through the overlapping region of the two domains that is called the switching sequence. The switch is controlled by changes in the environment.

Sveta_85 [38]
You're probably talking about the cubic crystal structure of alpha polonium, the only element known to exist that way. Each alpha polonium crystal has 27 atoms in a three by three arrangement. Alpha polonium is an allotrope of the element polonium. Allotropes are physical forms of a single element. An example is carbon, which exists as diamond and graphite.

Why is the nitrogen fixation carried out by cyanobacteria , bacteria and some archaea in marine environments important?
strojnjashka [21]
The nitrogen fixation is a very important process because it is the principal source of nitrogen in the marine environment for photosynthetic plants. Nitrogen is a growth limiting nutrient, that is very important for the growth of photosynthetic plants. During the process of nitrogen fixation, nitrogen is absorbed from the atmosphere and it is fixed by nitrogen fixing organisms.
