Select all of the food items where microbial growth is controlled by means of osmotic pressure.

1 answer:

<span>The answer would be:
Jellies
Salt cured meats
Honey

High osmotic pressure can be used as a natural preservative. In high osmotic pressure, the microbes will hardly survive as their surrounding concentration is too high and induce severe osmosis. The osmosis will take the microbes water, makes it shrink continually lead to the microbes death.
In those 3 foods, there is a high concentration of sugar or salt that increase the osmotic pressure.</span>

What happens to RNA polymerase II after it has completed transcription of a gene? a. It begins transcribing the next gene on the

Over [174]

The correct answer is: b. It is free to bind to another promoter and begin transcription

Transcription is the first step of gene expression in which DNA molecule is copied (transcribed) into RNA (mRNA) by RNA polymerase. The process of transcription is divided into three phases:

1. Initiation

• RNA polymerase with transcriptional factors bind to gene promoter

• RNA polymerase unwinds DNA double helix (transcription bubble is formed)

2. Elongation

• RNA polymerases adds nucleotides complementary to DNA

3. Termination

• RNA polymerase gets to stop codon (transcribes a sequence of DNA known as a terminator)

• Formed complementary RNA strand is released from DNA-RNA complex.

RNA polymerase is also released and can transcribe some other gene by binding to its promotor. RNA polymerase will transcribe just the genes whose products are needed at a particular moment.
