Multiple sigma factors are essential to induce the biosynthesis of endospores,all of which are encoded by genes,so a complex regulatory mechanism such as this likely has a higher chance of mutations leading to incorrect functioning compared to a simple repression mechanism.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement is true because a complex regulatory mechanism involving multiple sigma factors is more prone to mutations that can lead to incorrect functioning compared to a simple repression mechanism. This is because mutations in any of the complex regulatory factors can affect the entire biosynthesis pathway, whereas mutations in a simple repression mechanism only affect a single regulatory factor.
