The discovery of DNA, as well as understanding of its functioning and structure, may well be the most essential findings of the last century.  

The impact of the discovery of DNA on medical and scientific advancement has been huge, whether it involves the manufacturing and creation of drugs to cure the deadly diseases or to identify the genes, which stimulate several of the diseases.  

The understanding of DNA and its structural composition has led to the discovery of various technologies that helps in the fields like genetic testing, identifying viruses, crime investigation, production of genetically modified organisms, and various others.

Regulatory and basal transcription factors regulate transcription by binding to the promoter.A) True B) False
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

In eukaryotes apart from RNA polymerase, the transcription of genes requires many different proteins called transcription factors. These transcription factors are important to initiate and regulate transcription.

There are two types of transcription factors regulatory and basal transcription factors. Basal transcription factors regulate transcription by binding to a gene promoter and regulatory transcription factor regulates transcription by binding to some regulatory sequences for example enhancers and silencers.  

Therefore only basal transcription factor binds to the promoter for regulating transcription. Therefore the statement is false.

Use the cladogram to explain why you think modern whales have very small but useless pelvic bones. 3.
aev [14]

Modern day whale species, have very small pelvic bones in comparison to their body size, and also they are useless. This is because this bones in the whale body are remnants from the time when their ancestors were land dwelling creatures, thus they had legs as the typical land mammal has. But during their evolution, as their ancestors were starting to adapt more to the water, the legs started to disappear, but the bones inside of the body remained, even though they were of not use. Even though millions of years had passed since this bone is useless, it still exists, and the reason for that is that there hasn't been any evolutionary pressure for it to not exist, since it is not causing any disadvantage into the movement and lifestyle of the whales.
