Surprising

Explanation:

This is surprising because the total number of planets in our solar system are nine which revolve around a central star i.e sun in different orbital paths.

Also, out of 9 nearly four planets i.e Mercury, Earth, Venus and Mars are terrestrial i.e having some land forms. Out of remaining 5 non terrestrial planets nearly four planets are gas planets (Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn) and these planets are distantly positioned from the central star

Transcription occurs along a ____ template forming an mRNA in the ____ direction. (0.5 pts.) A) 5' to 3'; 5' to 3' B) 5' to 3';

ra1l [238]

Answer:

3' to 5'; 5' to 3'

Explanation:

The DNA strand with 3' to 5' polarity serves as a template for the process of transcription. Using the 3' to 5' DNA template strand, the enzyme RNA polymerase catalyzes the formation of RNA. The ribonucleotides are bonded together by phosphodiester bonds that are formed in 5' to 3' direction only. The formation of RNA occurs in 5' to 3' direction. The DNA template strand has a complementary nucleotide sequence to the newly synthesized RNA.
