Answer:

A step that is not part of natural selection is people select which individuals breed and which ones do not.

Explanation:

Natural selection is a process in which favorable or unfavorable environmental conditions determine the evolution of species, producing differences in their genotype over a long period of time.

As its name indicates, it is a natural selection, in which no intervention by people is contemplated, so that people cannot determine which individuals breed.

Natural selection implies that the characteristics on which the environment influences are inheritable, that there is genetic variability in the population and that the variability of these characteristics implies the ease of reproduction and survival capacity.

The other options do form part of natural selection, since they are based on the three premises of this process:

Inheritable characteristics.
Genetic variability.
The variability of characteristics influences reproduction and survival.

What happens to RNA polymerase II after it has completed transcription of a gene? a. It begins transcribing the next gene on the

Over [174]

The correct answer is: b. It is free to bind to another promoter and begin transcription

Transcription is the first step of gene expression in which DNA molecule is copied (transcribed) into RNA (mRNA) by RNA polymerase. The process of transcription is divided into three phases:

1. Initiation

• RNA polymerase with transcriptional factors bind to gene promoter

• RNA polymerase unwinds DNA double helix (transcription bubble is formed)

2. Elongation

• RNA polymerases adds nucleotides complementary to DNA

3. Termination

• RNA polymerase gets to stop codon (transcribes a sequence of DNA known as a terminator)

• Formed complementary RNA strand is released from DNA-RNA complex.

RNA polymerase is also released and can transcribe some other gene by binding to its promotor. RNA polymerase will transcribe just the genes whose products are needed at a particular moment.

Cellulose, chitin, and the polysaccharide that makes up the cell walls of many bacteria are the structural polysaccharides, wher

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Wall cell has to be strong to bring protection to the cell. In general it is made of beta-glycosidic bonds.

Storage polysaccharides, are a source of available energy for the cell in any moment. Therefore, the bonds of storage polysaccharides need to be weak. In that way, when the cell needs energy from carbohydrates, it is not going to spend so much energy trying to break the bond.
