Multiple sigma factors are essential to induce the biosynthesis of endospores, consequently a complex regulatory mechanism such as this has a higher chance of mutation leading to incorrect functioning compared to a simple repression mechanism.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The more complex the regulatory mechanism, the more susceptible it is to mutation, which can lead to incorrect functioning. Therefore, multiple sigma factors in the induction of endospore biosynthesis increase the chances of mutation and incorrect functioning compared to a simple repression mechanism.
