Which of the following organisms contains a 11 bp specific DNA sequence that acts as selfrecognition sequence in natural

The principle of nucleic acid structure and recombination explains that hairpin formation, Holliday junction resolution and translation control ensure fidelity. Hence Hemophilus infuenzae fits best because it matches molecular mechanisms, as documented in authoritative sources on molecular biology.

Ref: Watson et al., Molecular Biology of the Gene, 7th Edition, Chapter 9, Transcription and RNA Processing, describes RNA hairpin formation, secondary structures and regulatory mechanisms controlling gene expression.
