A strain of bacteria possesses a temperature‑sensitive mutation in the gene that encodes the rho subunit. At high temperatures, rho is not functional. When these bacteria are raised at elevated temperatures, what would you expect to observe? a. All RNA molecules are shorter than normal because the absence of functional rho would derail the transcription.
b. Transcription does not take place because mutant rho would interfere with the RNA polymerase binding to the template.
c. Some RNA molecules would be longer than normal because these RNA came from the gene with rho-dependent terminator.
d. Some RNA molecules would be normal length because not every terminator in bacterial genes would be rho-dependent.
e. All RNA molecules are longer than normal because the absence of functional rho means the transcription continues beyond the proper termination point.

d. Some RNA molecules would be normal length because not every terminator in bacterial genes would be rho-dependent.

Explanation:

Rho is a prokaryotic protein which is required at the end of transcription (termination) of dependent rho-terminator sequences. During transcription, Rho binds at the end of the single-stranded RNA sequence in a site known as 'transcription terminator pause site'. This factor has helicase activity dependent on the hydrolysis of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to ADP. The Rho binding site consists of a cytosine-rich region (∼ 70 nucleotides) that lacks RNA secondary structure.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
