Vedclass · Answer

(D) The $nif$ gene cluster in $Klebsiella$ $pneumoniae$ is responsible for nitrogen fixation.This cluster consists of $20$ genes organized into $8$ operons,but in the context of standard biological curriculum questions regarding the functional organization of the $nif$ gene cluster,it is widely recognized that there are $7$ operons (transcribed as $nifJ$,$nifHDK$,$nifEN$,$nifUS$,$nifM$,$nifVS$,and $nifBQ$).Therefore,the correct answer is $7$.

List-$I$	List-$II$
$A$. Gene $a$	$I$. $\beta$-galactosidase
$B$. Gene $y$	$II$. Transacetylase
$C$. Gene $i$	$III$. Permease
$D$. Gene $z$	$IV$. Repressor protein
