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.

Fruit color in a particular plant is controlled by a set of three quantitative trait loci (i.e., QTLs or polygenes), that work i
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

1/8

Explanation:

Given that the trihybrid parents have AaBbCc genotype for fruit color. The trait is a quantitative trait i.e. each dominant allele will have an additive effect on it. In this case, AaBbCc and AABBCC will not produce same fruit color because AaBbCc has only three loci contributing to the color while in AABBCC all the six loci are contributing to the color. For an offspring to be exactly similar to the AaBbCc parents it should have the same genotype of AaBbCc.

The probability of Aa to come from a cross between Aa and Aa is 2/4 or 1/2

The probability of Bb to come from a cross between Bb and Bb is 2/4 or 1/2

The probability of Cc to come from a cross between Cc and Cc is 2/4 or 1/2

So the collective probability of AaBbCc offspring from a cross between AaBbCc and AaBbCc parents would be=

1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

Hence, assuming no effects of the environment, 1/8 of the offspring will have the same fruit color phenotype as the trihybrid parent.

What does it mean for an environment to be isotonic?(1 point)
HACTEHA [7]

A solution to be isotonic refers to b) The concentration of solute in the environment and the concentration inside the cell are at equilibrium.

  • Isotonic solution is the solution that have equal concentration of solute on both sides of the solution separated by a membrane.
  • If a cell is kept in an isotonic solution that means the concentration of the solute inside the cell is the same as that of the outside then the movement of solvent does not occur between the cell and the external environment.
  • The osmotic pressure inside the cell and outside the cell across the semipermeable membrane of the cell becomes the same due to equal concentration of the solute on each side.

0.9% normal saline is an example of isotonic solution.
