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 is the energy of a photon first used to do in photosynthesis?
yuradex [85]
The energy from sunlight comes in the form of photons, and this energy is used in the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis. The first function carried out by the photons in energizing electrons in the chlorophyll. The energized electron travels through the electron transport chain and subsequent steps are carried out to utilize this energy to form ATP.

The species diversity of an evolutionary lineage will increase when more new member species originate than are lost to extinctio
lesantik [10]

Answer:

A. 2 speciation events and 5 extinctions

B. 5 speciation events and 1 extinction

Explanation:

As we can see from the diagram, there were only 2 ,aim speciation events for lineage A. The extinction events were 5 for the A lineage. Hence, as the extinction event was more rapid than the speciation event so lineage A contains only one species.

On the other hand, the diagram shows that for lineage B there were 5 speciation events and just 1 extinction event. Hence, the number of species in lineage B were more at the time zero as just one extinction had occurred.

Write your question here. We can't read your mind. Yet.
Nataly [62]
Let’s think about this, we can already cross out D because that is the small intestine’s function, that isn’t a picture of the small intestine.

We can also cross out A for the answers because the gallbladder is the organ that creates bile and that once again isn’t the picture of that organ.

That leaves C and B.

The stomach produces pepsin and makes hydrochloric acid, this isn’t a picture of the stomach, so that leaves you with C.


The answer to your question is C, since this is a picture of the pancreas, and the pancreas’ job is to produce enzymes that breaks down carbohydrates.
