The initiation of transcription requires melting of the DNA double helix, i.e. separating hydrogen-bonded base pairs, immediatel

y upstream of the +1 site. How is this melting accomplished in E. coli?
a. Bases at the promoter region flip outward from the double helix into pockets on the polymerase.
b. DNA helicase first unwinds the double helix around the +1 site.
c. RNA polymerase gets the energy to cause separation of strands from ATP hydrolysis.
d. Topoisomerase first returns the linking number to Lk0. DnaA:ATP complexes bind to and twist the double helix at the +1 site.

Answer:

The correct answer is B. DNA helicase first unwinds the double helix around the +1 site.

Explanation:

The helicase is an enzyme that specifically breaks the hydrogen bonds of the bases in the transcription process. As E. Coli is a prokaryote, then, the transcription only occurs in one point of the circular DNA. The promoter region indicates where the DNA polymerase has to start replicating and the Topoisomerase unwinds the parts of the DNA that are being excessively twisted because of the separation of the two strands.

What happens to excess carbohydrates in animals?
Neporo4naja [7]
<span>Excess carbohydrates in Animals are stored as fats. It mainly gets stored in the skeletal muscles and liver in the form of glycogen. Carbohydrates actually get stored in the form of long polymers of glucose molecules or as glycogen starch. They provide energy to the animals for performing their daily duties. Carbohydrates are generally considered the fuel for all organisms, and without this most animals would become sloth and would be unable to perform the regular jobs. Carbohydrates are actually very easy to metabolise and hence generate quick energy. </span>

Some people seem more willing to openly display prejudice regarding sexual orientation than prejudice regarding race and gender.
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Some people offer more prejudice on the sexual orientation because sexual orientation like gay marriages were not seen in the world before. Before the 21st century, the same- sex marriage was never seen or heard about. So, today people display more prejudice regarding this issue because sexual orientation began in the 21st century. Many people are of the view that this same sex marriage is not traditional and hence it is not right morally. While others believe that every person has the right of freedom and this is their civil right to do what they like.

The discrimination based on race and gender has been an issue from the start of human lives. Almost every country has a history which shows race and gender discrimination. Hence, though majority of the people today are against this but still is is not as a hot and new topic for prejudice as the topic of sexual orientation is.
