Ответ:
Through the process of elimination, a repressor is a protein and, thus, consists of amino acids. On the other hand, DNA and tRNA consist of phosphate, adenine, guanine, and cytosine. However, among mentioned components, uracil and ribose are characteristic of RNAs. DNA consists of a phosphate, deoxyribose and bases: adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine. RNA (tRNA, mRNA, rRNA) consists of phosphate, ribose and bases: adenine, uracil, guanine, cytosine.
Q2. The answer is RNA polymerase, DNA, ribonucleotides.
Transcription is a process in which DNA sequence transcribes into messenger RNA (mRNA). RNA polymerase is an enzyme necessary for this process. It attaches to DNA sequence and helps ribonucleotides to bind to complementary bases on DNA. After mRNA is transcribed, RNA polymerase de-attaches from DNA sequence and mRNA is free.
Q3. The answer is a peptide composed of 7 phe
Three nucleotide bases on mRNA are called codon. Each codon codes for specific amino acid. Genetic codon chart has summarised RNA codons and their amino acids.
Now, we have a 21-nucleotide-long DNA sequence that contains only the base adenine:
Next, we must transcribe it into mRNA so we can read codon chart. According to the base complementarity rule, adenine will bind to uracil in RNA:
DNA:
RNA:
We now have a 21-nucleotide-long RNA sequence that contains only the base uracil, and let separate it on triplets (three nucleotide bases):
RNA: UUU-UUU-UUU-UUU-UUU-UUU-UUU
After taking a look at genetic codon chart, amino acid that is appropriate for UUU triplet is Phe:
RNA: UUU-UUU-UUU-UUU-UUU-UUU-UUU
Protein: Phe - Phe - Phe -Phe- Phe - Phe - Phe
After counting, there are 7 phe amino acids in the protein.
Q4. The answer is Some cells underwent beneficial mutations.
A chemical mutagen was added to the bacterial strain in order to kill all of the bacteria. However, 30% of the bacteria survived. This means that they underwent some mutations. Since that mutation helped them survive, it had some beneficial effect on bacterial survival. Therefore, some bacteria underwent beneficial mutations.
Q5. The answer is Mutation to -A-C-C-T-G-T- is an advantageous mutation.
A DNA sequence is -A-C-C-T-G-C- . It should be transcribed to mRNA sequence according to the base complementarity rule by which, in RNA, adenine will bind uracil, and guanine will bind cytosine:
Normal sequence: Mutated sequence:
DNA: -A-C-C-T-G-C- DNA: -A-C-C-T-G-T-
RNA: -U-G-G-A-C-G- RNA: -U-G-G-A-C-A-
Now, after comparing RNA triplets to amino acids in genetic codon chart:
Normal sequence: Mutated sequence:
RNA: -UGG-ACG- RNA: -UGG-ACA-
Protein: - Trp - Thr - Protein: - Trp - Thr -
This mutation might be advantageous among all other mentioned choices.

Misinterpretation of scientific knowledge for the influence of public opinion has been a repeating problem over the past, and usually creates a rift between the scientific community and the general public.
