Answer: Transcription factors

Explanation:  

The dioxin enters the blood stream and the fat cells and liver cells store it.

While moving inside the cell the dioxin binds to the protein called Aryl hydrocarbon which then binds to the second receptor.  

The complex is then carried to the nucleus of the cell. This tends to on and off certain genes.

This turning on and off of the genes in the cell can lead to serious diseases like cancer, decreased immune function, et cetera.

Answer: <u>Unwind </u>

Explanation: Transcription is a process where a DNA strand is used to make a copy of mRNA. A complementary mRNA strand is made from the DNA strand. This mRNA is then later used to make proteins. In this process the junk information, present in DNA in form of introns is also spliced.

DNA is a double stranded structure, which is present in helical structure and both the strands are twisted together. In order to make the mRNA copy with the help of the enzyme RNA polymerase, DNA must open up. Then only RNA polymerase will be able to access the nucleotides of DNA.
