RNA synthesis depends on RNA polymerases (RNAPs). This is the enzyme that faciliates copying a sequence of DNA which is the first step leading to gene expression. This multi-step process is important for researchers to understand especially in relations to studying how genetics influence disease processes.

Answer: The correct answer is It binds to the promoter region of a gene and adds new nucleotides to the growing end of nascent mRNA.

RNA polymerase is an enzyme that helps in the synthesis of mRNA ( messenger RNA) by using a template of DNA. This process is called transcription.

In this process, RNA polymerase first binds to a specific region in the gene called promoter, which marks the initiation of the transcription.

RNA polymerase by adding new nucleotide at the growing end of the nascent mRNA, synthesizes mRNA, which is complementary to the DNA template.

Thus, first option is the right answer.

olga nikolaevna [1]
The test tube will be most likely the one with yellowish color.
This happen because of the respiration process between the snail and Elodea. Actually, this will heavily affected by the control factors. The more elodea that exist in the incubation, the lower the amount of CO2 would be,

Explain how capillary action is really just teamwork between adhesion and cohesion.
frez [133]

The red blood cells are cohesive, meaning they want to stick together. if one cell moves along the capillary this cohesion will drag the neighboring cell with it. the cells are also adhesive to the capillary walls, so they stick along the tube lining as they are dragged through the capillary.
