Ans. 'Coastal plains of Virginia.'

The Cenozoic era is a geological era that last about 65 million years from the ending of Cretaceous period. During the end of Cretaceous period and early Cenozoic era, drastic sea-level changes are recorded in the rocks of coastal plains of Virginia, due to their tectonic stability and rapid sedimentation.

The regions near coastal plains of Virginia include diverse fossil types, such as fossils of trees, mollusks, and vertebrates (whales).  

Thus, the correct answer to be filled in the blank is 'coastal plains of Virginia.'

Answer:

transcription initiation

Explanation:

Transcription is a process by which genetic information from DNA is used to synthesize an RNA molecule, usually, a messenger RNA (mRNA), which is subsequently utilized to synthesize a protein by a process called translation. Transcription in prokaryotes has three steps:

1-Initiation: the RNA polymerase is a multisubunit enzyme (holoenzyme) composed of two α, one β, one β’ and one ω and σ subunits (α2ββ’ωσ). This holoenzyme binds to the promoter region of the template DNA strand.

2-Elongation. The sigma σ factor of the holoenzyme is released and the complex and the core enzyme (α2 ββω) moves along the template strand, thereby producing an mRNA sequence

3-Termination. This step can be Rho-dependent, where a protein named "Rho" recognizes the termination site and stop transcription, and Rho-independent (transcription continues until the termination sequence is reached).

In consequence, Rifamycin is likely to block the initiation of transcription because the core RNA enzyme needs to bind the sigma factor (σ) for initiation of transcription in bacteria.

What is meant by the unexpected consequences of environmental manipulation?
belka [17]
Environmental manipulation of a crop can not only have unexpected consequences, but also have a negative impact on the atmosphere as well. The crops produced might be of inferior quality than expected. The amount of crop that grows can also be less. More water might be needed for the crops to grow.

A biologist has been studying two populations of trout in Montana for the last 25 years, when the two populations were establish
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Positive natural selection.

Explanation:

The positive natural selection is a type of natural selection that increases the frequency of an allele or trait when it is advantageous for the population. What happened in the example is that the mouth with the slight change in  morphology (trait)  was more advantageous for the population in the south in relation to the  ancestral morphology  (still preserved in the population in the north), and therefore its frequency increased. This, in turn, is due to the fact that the food (prey) is not the same in the two habitats (north and south).  The specific prey in the south,  caused the new morphology to be selected, (increasing the frequency of individuals with the new mouth),  becasue probably that trait allows the trouts in the south to hunt more effectively.
