Solution

The correct option is A Nif gene
  • The nitrogen fixation enzymes are encoded by nif genes that are present in both free-living and symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
  • Primary nitrogen fixation enzyme is nitrogenase complex.
  • Yeast alanine tRNA synthetase binds alanine to respective tRNA.
  • RNA synthetase enzyme catalyzes RNA synthesis in RNA viruses.
So, the correct answer is option A.
