TASK DEFINITION: In this task you will be given a text passage from a trivia quiz. You should choose the category this question belongs to from these categories: History, Science, Social Science, Fine Arts, Literature. You can only choose one category, so if in doubt, please choose the closest match.
PROBLEM: An RNA polymerase from one of these organisms is commonly used in in vitro transcription experiments, and one well-studied example of these organisms uses the Q antiterminator to transcribe its structural components. Benzer's rII system uses these organisms for single-nucleotide mutation mapping, and the Phi-X-174 example of these organisms was the first to have its genome (*) sequenced. These organisms carry genetic information between cells in transduction. These organisms were labeled with 32P and 35S in the experiment that showed that DNA is the substance that stores genetic information, performed by Hersey and Chase. These organisms use their tail proteins as an injection mechanism. For 10 points, name these viruses that infect bacteria.

SOLUTION: Science

PROBLEM: This enzyme is degraded by the actions of victorin and the DNA-binding aspartic acid peptidase CND41, but is forced into a proteolysis-resistant state by the binding of its inhibitor CA1P. It is usually localized to to pyrenoids, and a lysine residue on it is carbamated by its namesake activase, which allows the positioning of a critical magnesium molecule. Phosphoglycolate is a side product of this enzyme, whose slow speed and penchant for leading to photorespiration is counteracted by PEP carboxylase in some organisms. FTP, name this enzyme, the most abundant protein on earth, that catalyzes a major step in the Calvin cycle by attaching a carbon dioxide molecule to Ribulose bisphosphate.

SOLUTION: Science

PROBLEM: This empire used a system of local government in which an obirempon or "Big Man" served as a regional ruler, and it employed a communication system called "talking drums". This kingdom rose to prominence with its victory over Ntim Gyakari at the Battle of Feyiase, which cemented their dominance over the Denkyira people. This empire's last resistance was led by Queen Yaa in 1900, and their capital had earlier been burned by the British general Garnet Wolseley. This empire's cofounders were Osei Kofi Tutu, who wielded political power, and his chief priest Okomfo Anokye, who made the Golden Stool descend from the heavens. With its capital at Kumasi, for 10 points, name this African empire centered in present-day Ghana.
