I believe it's called the urethra
Answer:
1. chromosome: tight coils of DNA
2. Eukaryote: a cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus
3. Gene: a specific sequence of DNA nucleotides that carry hereditary traits
4. Prokaryote: a cell whose nucleus is not bound by a membrane
5. Trait: genetic characteristic of an individual
Explanation:
Chromosomes are the thread-like structures that appear during cell division. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled with its packing proteins.
A cell is defined as eukaryote or prokaryote on the basis of the presence of a membrane-bound nucleus. The cells that lack the membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles are called prokaryotic cells. Example: bacteria.
The cells that have a membrane bound nucleus in which DNA is present are called eukaryotic cells. Example: Plant cells.
A stretch of DNA that code for a particular protein and thereby regulate specific genetic trait is called a gene. Genes are present on chromosomes and are carried from one generation to next to maintain the genetic traits.
The features of living beings regulated by the gene are called trait. Example: skin color, eye color, etc.
Answer:
<u>A portion of the DNA unwinds and RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA within the transcription bubble.</u>
Explanation:
Transcription is the process in which DNA template is used to synthesize mRNA.
There are three steps of transcription:
It is the process in which a portion of DNA unwinds and RNA polymerase binds to the promotor region on the DNA.
It is the process in which RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template and synthesizes mRNA. During this process, unwinding of double stranded DNA takes place.
As the RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template, it finally reaches a termination signal and then stops synthesizing. It is followed by the detachment of the newly formed mRNA and RNA polymerase from the DNA.
<u>QUESTION:</u>
- <u> A ribosome attaches to the initiation codon of a completed mRNA strand.</u>
This is the incorrect answer choice as this process does not happen in the process of transcription. This event happens<u> in the process of translation in which mRNA is used to synthesize proteins or amino acids. mRNA attaches to ribosome during this process.</u>
- <u>RNA polymerase moves along the template strand of the DNA creating an mRNA strand.</u>
This is the incorrect answer choice as this event takes place in the process of elongation.
- <u>A portion of the DNA unwinds and RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA within the transcription bubble.</u>
This is the<u> correct answer choice as this event takes place in the process of initiation of transcription</u>
- <u>The mRNA detaches from the RNA polymerase as the RNA polymerase leaves the DNA strand.</u>
This is the incorrect answer choice. This event takes place in the event of termination of transcription.
