Answer: Allopatric Speciation
Explanation:
Allopatric speciation occurs when new distinct species are formed due to the separation of a specie into two separate groups. These two groups are kept away from each other.
In allopatric speciation there is no exchange of genes between the two separate groups.
Allopatric speciation can also be known as geographical speciation.
Answer:
transcription factors bind to the promoter, and RNA polymerase is then recruited to begin transcribing the gene
Explanation:
The transcription process in eukaryotes happens in 3 stages:
- Initiation
- Elongation
- Termination
The initiation of transcription starts when a set of proteins called the transcription binds to the promoter region of a gene on the coding strand of DNA. Thereafter, the RNA polymerase enzyme binds to the promoter region thereby opening up the double helix structure of the DNA in anticipation of transcription.
During elongation, RNA nucleotides are added to the growing RNA strand in 5' to 3' direction with the DNA unwinding and winding back as the polymerase moves along the coding strand in 3' to 5' direction.
Transcription terminates when the RNA polymerase gets to the end of the gene being transcribed signalled by a sequence of DNA known as the terminator.
<em>Hence, in the illustration, the correct answer would be that the transcription factors bind to the promoter, and RNA polymerase is then recruited to begin transcribing the gene.</em>
