Answer:

Lowest concentration: small fishes

highest concentration: Osprey

Process: Biomagnification

Explanation:

With respect to given food chain, DDT concentration will be lowest in the primary consumers, that is, in small fishes. The top consumers, that is, osprey would exhibit highest DDT concentration. The image shows biomaginification of slow metabolizing DDT and its accumulation in the tissues of the living beings. Since biomagnification leads to maximum accumulation of chemical in the tissues of top consumers, osprey bird would be most severely affected.

What is responsible for termination of transcription in eukaryotic protein-coding genes?
kupik [55]

Answer:

<h2>A polyadenylation signal or poly(A) </h2>

Explanation:

Termination. In eukaryotes, transcription is terminated differently for the all 3 different RNA polymerases. Transcription is terminated by two elements: i) a poly(A) signal and ii) a downstream terminator sequence.

In eukaryotic protein-encoding genes, the cleavage site in the RNA occurs between an upstream( the sequence before the cleavage site) AAUAAA  and a downstream GU-rich, separated by approx 40-60 nucleotides. After they both have been transcribed, a protein knows as CPSF  and another protein called CstF( in humans)  helps in termination.
