Answer:

Transcription is the 1st step in the gene expression (DNA based) by which the information in a sequence of DNA is copied into a molecule of mRNA (messenger RNA). Transcription involves 3 steps:

Initiation: In which the DNA molecule sequence unwind and form a small open complex.
Elongation: In which RNA polymerase moves with the template strand & synthesizing a messenger RNA.
Termination: Occurs when an RNA polymerase crosses a termination sequence in the gene. In the termination step, the mRNA strand is complete & it detaches from DNA.

RNA polymerase is a multi sub-unite enzyme which is responsible for copying the DNA template into an RNA template during the process of transcription.

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

There are a number of lipids that are found in foods and contribute to various functions in the body. Triglycerides are the most common lipid found in food and in the body; they consist of a Glycerol backbone attached to three fatty acids.

Fatty acids are classified based on the degree to which the carbon chain is saturated with Hydrogen

A fatty acid is saturated if it contains no carbon-carbon double bonds, polyunsaturated if it contains two or more carbon-carbon double bonds, and monounsaturated if it has only one carbon-carbon double bond.

The unsaturated fatty acids can exist in one of two structural forms: the trans form occurs when hydrogens on both carbons forming the double bond lie on opposite sides of that bond.

When hydrogens on an unsaturated fatty acid lie on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond, a cis formation exists.
