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.

Flowers are a collection of _____ tissue produced by some plants.
Lostsunrise [7]
There are choices for this question namely:

1. Sterile
2. Reproductive
3. Both
4. Neither

The correct answer is that flowers are a collection of reproductive tissue produced by flowering plants (angiosperms). The flower is a reproductive organ of the plant. It is composed of the male organ (stamen) which produces the pollen and the female organ (ovary) which receives the pollen. Once the ovary receives the pollen either from the same plant or from another through pollination, the ovule (part of the ovary) will then become the seed and the ovary will become the fruit. The seed is the "embryo" of the plant wherein if planted, it will grow to a new plant.
