Name the component that binds to the operator region of an operon and prevents RNA polymerase from transcribing the operon.

Given below are two statements :

Statement I : The process of copying genetic information from one strand of the DNA into RNA is termed as transcription.

Statement II : A transcription unit in DNA is defined primarily by the three regions in the DNA i.e., a promotor, the structural gene and a terminator.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Which scientist conducted an experiment with ³²P and ³⁵S labelled phages for demonstrating that DNA is the genetic material?

Given below are two statements :

Statement I : RNA being unstable, mutate at a faster rate.

Statement II : RNA can directly code for synthesis of proteins hence can easily express the characters.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
