Fossils are formed in a number of different ways, but most are formed when a plant or animal dies in a watery environment and is buried in mud and silt. Soft tissues quickly decompose leaving the hard bones or shells behind. Over time sediment builds over the top and hardens into rock.

Is a person's DNA likely to be more similar to the DNA of his or her biological parents or to the DNA of one of his or her first
Gala2k [10]

It's more likely to be similar to their parents,

Explanation: Due to the fact that the combined DNA of the parents helps decide what the offspring looks like, sounds like, what diseases they get & how their body functions. it's highly unlikely for it to be similar to one of the first cousins due to the fact that their mum/dad probably didnt mate with the mum/dad of the first cousin.

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.

Explain , using an example to help, what gene is ?
Agata [3.3K]
A gene is a basic unit of heredity and a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that encodes the synthesis of a gene product, either RNA or protein. For example, if both of your parents have green eyes, you might inherit the trait for green eyes from them.
