Answer:

The correct answer is C. Mammals can produce milk for their offspring.

Mammals are the members of class mammalia. The word mammalia was derived from Latin word "mamma" which means "breasts" as they had a unique feature i.e. presence of mammary glands.

These glands were evolved from a special types of sweat glands and became specialized in the production of milk, especially in females.

Transcription activators are different from transcription factors in that A. transcription factors prevent RNA polymerase bindin
Nesterboy [21]

Correct answer is option D.

Transcription activators accelerate transcription, while transcription factors assist RNA polymerase binding.

<h2><u></u></h2><h2><u>Explanation</u></h2>

Transcription factors are the proteins which help in proper binding of RNA polymerases in the promoter region of DNA so as to facilitate transcription.

Activators on the other hand, help in the enhancement of the transcription rate.  

Transcriptional activators are basically proteins which bind to the regulatory elements known as enhancers so as to increase the rate of transcription. Enhancers are specific DNA sequences, which may be present in the upstream or downstream region of the gene which is going to be transcribed.

It may be noted here that transcription factors are only present in eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, sigma factors are present instead of  transcription factors to facilitate proper binding of RNA polymerases on the DNA.

What process occurs after DNA has been replicated?
Eva8 [605]
DNA replication is the process by which a double stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce an identical DNA molecule. The process takes place in the nucleus of a cell and is undertaken by enzyme DNA polymerase. It is the first stage of the central dogma of life then followed by transcription process and the translation. Translation is the process that occurs after DNA replication where the DNA molecule formed from replication is used as a primer for the formation of a messenger RNA.
