Answer: Option b) 2

Explanation:

Significant figures are the digits which play a role in defining a measurement that is they carry some meaning.

There are three essential rules to find out the significant figures in a given number:

Rule 1: Non-zero digits such are always significant.
Rule 2: The zeroes after a non-zero number in decimal are also significant. An example is if the number is 0.0500 then the zeroes after 5 are considered significant, however, the zeroes before 5 are not significant.
Rule 3: The zeroes placed between any two significant digits are also considered as significant e.g in 202 the zero is significant.
Therefore, in the number 0.020 km, there are two significant digits, one is 2 and the other is the last zero placed after 2.

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer: Transcription begins when RNA polymerase binds to a promoter sequence near the beginning of a gene (directly or through helper proteins). RNA polymerase uses one of the DNA strands (the template strand) as a template to make a new, complementary RNA molecule. Transcription ends in a process called termination.

vampirchik [111]

Answer: The genotype of the generation resulting from the given P ( parental generation) is Aa that is all offsprings in the first generation will be heterozygous dominant.

The genotype of the parents is AA and aa and the gametes produced by these parents are A and a respectively.

When these gametes fuse, they result in the offsprings with genotype Aa. This represents a dominant phenotype due to the presence of dominant gene ( a gene that masks the expression of recessive gene and expresses itself), which is A in this case.
