Transcription is the transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA, and it happens in the nucleus. We can automatically rule out B. B is incorrect because it doesn't make sense; how can a process stop before it even begins?
A. I believe this is incorrect because mRNA is involved when the genetic information needs to leave the nucleus. mRNA would take it to a ribosome outside of a nucleus. Since transcription happens in the nucleus, mRNA is irrelevant before it starts.
C. This doesn't really make sense. mRNA carries information from the DNA, but not vice versa (in these early stages).
D. This would make the most sense, since RNA polymerase needs to attach to the promoter on the strand before transcription can begin.
Answer:
For APEX: A decline in the native species of beetle.
Explanation:
DNA fingerprinting is where DNA is used to create a profile for someone often in crimes. The STR or Short Tandem Repeats are used for this. STRs are non-coding sections of DNA which repeat themselves for example CACACACACACACACACACA the location of this STR and the length of the STR (how many times it repeats) are used to identify a specific person
Photosynthesis occurs in the Chloroplasts.
The respiration takes place in the Mitochondria.
Hope this helps!! :)
