Outline the effect of CFCs on the ozone layer.

Biology
1 answer:
Serhud [2]3 years ago
8 0
The ozone layer is a stratospheric region composed of Ozone (Triatomic Oxygen) 

CFC´s (Chlorofluorcarbons) are broken down by ultraviolet radioation to release chloride ions wich react with ozone breaking it down into oxygen.

One chlorine atom can destroy 100.000 ozone molecules - smallamounts of CFC can break down large amounts of ozone.

The thinning of the ozone layer by CFCs reduces the absorption of UV light in the stratosphere

In order to initiate transcription in eukaryotes, _______. View Available Hint(s) In order to initiate transcription in eukaryot
laila [671]

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:

  1. Initiation
  2. Elongation
  3. 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>
