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.

                   increasing production of cheap calories of Sugar and Triglycerides  for use in food products

The attempt by farmers to maximize profit prompted them to give hormones e.g streroids to  animals to increase their  biochemical reactions therefore the the products yields e.g they  are  giving  steroids  to poultry  to  improve chicken, eggs production;and  to  cattle for improved beef and milk production.

In order to obtain maximum sugar and fats productions, cheap calories  forms of there  are being  produced. e,g fructose, maltose. if  maltose  is consumed in excess  it leads to  obesity, while fructose increases the level of cholesterol.These products  requires a lot of processing with different chemical products which leads to health problems after consumption

Semenov [28]

Correct answer: B). The phagocytotic barrier, which is a part of innate immunity

The scenario represents the phagocytosis, which is a type of endocytosis by which the cell engulfs microbial pathogens. The main cells of the immune system that are involved in phagocytosis include macrophages, neutrophils, and dendric cells.

It is a mechanism which is used by the immune system to kill and processing of antigen that play an important role in innate immune response.

Hence, the correct answer would be option B.
