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.

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

mutation rates can be used to design molecular clocks in order to estimate divergence times among species  

Explanation:

In evolutionary biology, the substitution rates (also known as mutation rates) are used for the development of 'molecular clocks' which allow estimating the divergence times among species or among taxonomic groups. Molecular clocks can be designed by estimating the divergence rate of nucleotide sequences (either DNA or RNA) and amino acid (protein) sequences. These substitution rates can also be used to track how quickly viruses evolve (for example, in a pandemic situation).

How might an athlete use vital lung capacity compared to a non athlete
kramer
An athlete would have a larger vital capacity than a non-athlete aerobic ability would find people with larger lungs and hence a bigger vital capacity. The vital capacity of an athlete is higher than a non-athlete because they are trying to do hard work their legs to get bigger and bigger over time making it easier for them
