Answer:

It is due to the proofreading activity of RNA polymerase.

Explanation:

RNA polymerase is the most significant enzyme of transcription process which deals with the synthesis of RNA from DNA.

   RNA polymerase reads the template DNA or antisense strand of DNA and helps in the addition of correct nitrogen bases to the growing RNA strand that is complementary with respect to the nucleotides present within the template DNA strand.

     After the addition of bases to the growing RNA strand the proofreading process take place in to verify that all the incorporated bases within the growing RNA chain is correct or not.If any incorrect base is incorporated in the growing RNA strand then the proofreading process replace that incorrect base with the correct one.

  All this processes occur in very quick succession that"s why RNA polymerase can locate a promoter sequence faster than two molecules can collide.

Which of the following is conical movement in which the distal end of a structure moves in a circle and the proximal end remains
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The correct answer is OPTION C (Circumduction)

Explanation:

Circumduction is motions without clear opposites of the part of the body, an example is rotating the hand from the wrist. The answer is circumduction because this type of movement ensures the distal end of a bone moves in a circle while the proximal end remains relatively stable is particularly found in bones where the movements of the joints are opposite to each other example is the ball and socket joint movement. For circumduction to take place, the degree of distance between two bones of the body has to be decreased and sometimes straightened to increase the level of movement or motion produced, there must be a movement towards the middle of the body and sometimes joint movement away from the middle of the body. All these movements are in order.

The standard free energy change of the glycolytic pathway to pyruvate is -79.9 kJ/mol, while the standard free energy change ass
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

122.7 kj/mol

Explanation:

This is purely theorical because it is not possible to accomplish the reversed pathway of the gycolytic pathway, but you would only need the same amount of energy but in reverse, this is in theory, in order to reverse the pathway. Standard free enegy is the amount of energy needed to create one mole of a given substance in its most stable form.

(07.02 MC) What would happen if the valves separating the chambers in a person's heart did not close?
satela [25.4K]

This is called valve stenosis or narrowing. This can put extra strain on your heart, making it pump harder to force the blood past the narrowing. If the valve does not close properly, it will allow blood to leak backwards. This is called valve incompetence or regurgitation or a leaky valve.

Why might a scientist use carbon-14 dating for a tree, but uranium-238 dating a rock
aksik [14]

Uranium-238 is found only in igneous or volcanic rocks. They can date a very ancient fossil also but carbon cannot date and ancient fossil. Trees are not very ancient. Carbon-14 can be used to measure only fossils of recent age.
