DNA polymerase has multiple mechanisms for editing and error correction, whereas the capacity for error correction in RNA polyme

rases seems to be quite limited. However, like a DNA mutation, an RNA polymerase error in transcription can cause production of a mutated protein. The limited error correction of RNA polymerase seems to be inconsistent with the potentially serious consequence of producing a protein with an altered amino acid sequence. Select reasons that explain why error correction is not as necessary in RNA polymerases as it is in DNA polymerases.
At least one of the reasons you have selected does not explain why RNA polymerases do not require rigorous error correction.
Transcription can produce many mRNA transcripts that then can be translated into many proteins.
If only one of these mRNAs contains an error, not all the copies of that particular protein will contain an error. Additionally, mRNAs and proteins have a finite lifetime and can be degraded while DNA persists from generation to generation. and translation.

Answer:

DNA polymerases are involved in the production of new DNA molecules while RNA polymerases are involved the transcription of DNA to mRNA.

Error correction is not necessary in RNA polymerase as compared to DNA polymerase because

1. The production of mRNA from DNA is for a period of time, that is, it is finite and when it is converted to proteins, it can be degraded. But the DNA replication is from generation to generation as it is inherited

2. The process of transcription is so fast. Thus, just few number of transcripts will have errors compared to the number produced.

Fill in the blanks to complete each statement about continental drift.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: Alfred Wegener ; Continents  

Explanation:

The continental drift theory states that continents of earth have moved over geologic time period relative to each other which appears to have drifted along the ocean bed.

This concept was fully  developed and explained by Alfred Wegener in the year 1912 but due to the lack of information about any motive mechanism his theory was rejected.

It is being subsumed by the theory of the tectonic plates by the continents moving because of the movement of the tectonic plates.

(FW.02]The diagram below shows a portion of the water cyle.
Simora [160]

Answer:

I would have to say recharge of the aquifer by using ground water after some precipitation.

Explanation:

Melting snow or rain increases ground water that percolates down to replenish the aquifer.

Elevation changes causes the aquifer to flow up in low spots/springs on the surface.  And the cycle repeats through evaporation and plant respiration.

horsena [70]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Soils rich in humus improve plant growth. Earthworms breakdown organic matter to form humus. From the data, it can be seen that plant growth is high in soil that has humus.
