Transcription factors are necessary for an initiation of transcription at a regulated gene but not sufficient.

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 Transcription factors can enhance the interaction between RNA polymerase and a DNA sequence- promoter, encouraging the expression of the gene. Such transcription factors are called activators. Otherwise, when the gene expression is inhibited, factors are called repressors and they bind to sequence –operator.

• 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

blondinia [14]

Answer:

In the F1 generation

RR = 0%

Rr = 50% (or 0.5)

rr = 50% (or 0.5)

Explanation:

A pink flowering plant has the genotype Rr. It is heterozygous for the allele. The alleles for this gene appears to show incomplete dominance, as the heterozygous phenotype is a blend of the two homozygous genotypes.

A white flowering plant has the genotype rr. It is homozyogous for the white allele

A punnet square of the cross is shown.

The resulting punnet square shows that only Rr and rr genotypes are possible, at a ratio of 50:50 (or 1:1). Therefore, the genotype frequency of Rr is 50%, and rr is 50% in the F1 generation. This can also be written as 0.5. It is not possible to get a red plant, as the genotype RR can not come from this cross

What is the term used to describe an organic cofactor​
Nat2105 [25]

The term used to describe an organic cofactor is that this common chemistry allow cells to use a small set of metabolic intermediates to carry chemical groups between different reactions. These group-transfer intermediates are the loosenly-bound organic cofactors, often called coenzymes.

What is the appropriate dose of 1:10,000 (0.1 mg/ml) concentration of epinephrine for endotracheal administration to a baby weig
vlada-n [284]
I believe the appropriate dose will be 1.5 mL, 
Epinephrine is used for both allergic reaction and heart attacks, in an effort to increase blood flow through veins and to reduce swelling in airways. When epinephrine is recognized by receptors on smooth muscles, it causes airway-blocking muscle constriction to subside. Other drugs that may be administered by the endotracheal route include atropine sulfate, lidocaine hydrochloride, naloxone hydrochloride, and metaraminol bitartrate.
