The mechanism of phase variation in Salmonella typhimurium:

A. uses site-specific recombination to invert the fljA and fljB genes so they now are not contiguous with their promoter. Expression of these genes is now prevented. B. uses site-specific recombination to invert the fljA and fljB promoter, preventing transcription of the two genes. Without repressor the fljC protein is now expressed. C. uses site-specific recombination to delete the repressor, fljA. Without repressor the fljC protein is now expressed. D. uses site-specific recombination to delete the fljB gene so only fljC can be expressed. E. None of the choices given is true.
