    Which of the following gene clusters in bacteria are responsible for nitrogen fixation?

    A) \[nod,\text{ }nif\]

    B) \[nod,nfx\]

    C) \[nod,\text{ }nix~\]

    D) \[ndx,\text{ }nif\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The gene cluster of \[nod.nif\]in bacteria are responsible for nitrogen fixation, nod genes are the important signaling molecules in the symbiotic interaction \[Rhizobium\]and leguminous plants. \[nif\]Genes encoding enzymes are involved in fixation of atmospheric nitrogen. The primary enzyme encoded by \[nif\] 'genes is the nitrogenase complex, which convert atmospheric nitrogen to other forms.
