Iodine it is an element that is required for the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones.
The body does not produce iodine on its own so it needs to come from dietary sources like eggs, prunes bananas, shrimp, cod, etc or you can take supplements of iodine.
When you consume iodine it quickly absorbed and enters into your bloodstream and thenyour thyroid that has tiny cells that capture the circulating iodine and takes in and oxidizes it so it can begin to be used to create (T3) and (T4 which are thyroid hormones.

Which best describes the order of actions by RNA polymerase?
Andrej [43]
The answer is d. Binds to DNA, makes mRNA from DNA, detaches.

RNA polymerase is an enzyme involved in transcription, a process of copying DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA). In the transcription, RNA polymerase first binds to DNA separating its two strands. Then, it adds ribonucleotides to the complementary nucleotides on DNA strand and, thus, it makes mRNA from DNA. After mRNA is synthesized, RNA polymerase detaches from DNA, freeing the new mRNA.
