Answer: e. generation time
Explanation:
The generation time is the time that is required by the bacterial cell or cell of the any other organism required to be doubled in number during a specified or constant period of time. The generation time can vary in different organisms.
For example, the E.coli cell divides in every 20 minutes, hence, the generation time of the E.coli is 20 minutes and for the Staphylococcus aureus it is seen as 30 minutes.
Transcription factors are necessary for an initiation of transcription at a regulated gene but not sufficient.
Transcription is the first step of gene expression in which DNA molecule is copied (transcribed) into RNA (mRNA) by RNA polymerase. The process of transcription is divided into three phases:
1. Initiation
• RNA polymerase with transcriptional factors bind to gene promoter Transcription factors can enhance the interaction between RNA polymerase and a DNA sequence- promoter, encouraging the expression of the gene. Such transcription factors are called activators. Otherwise, when the gene expression is inhibited, factors are called repressors and they bind to sequence –operator.
• RNA polymerase unwinds DNA double helix (transcription bubble is formed)
2. Elongation
• RNA polymerases adds nucleotides complementary to DNA
3. Termination
• RNA polymerase gets to stop codon (transcribes a sequence of DNA known as a terminator)
• Formed complementary RNA strand is released from DNA-RNA complex
Answer:
D: decomposers return carbon dioxide to the air
Explanation:
No they don’t, but to be able to have cellular respiration it can perform aerobic cellular respiration. These cells will move electrons back and forth across their cell membrane. Other types of prokaryotes cannot use oxygen to perform cellular respiration, so they perform anaerobic respiration.
