Answer:

blue-violet

Explanation:

Generally the appearance of a photosynthetic plants depends on the wave of light on the absorption spectrum that the pigments absorbs.  Thus a leaf appears green at  sight  because the  chlorophyll pigment  absorbed  wavelength of lights in red-blue-violet region, and reflect green back to the eyes.

Carotenoids appears as orange-yellow in color to eyes.Thus the plant in the question is a carotenoids. They usually absorbed light in blue-violet region of absorption spectrum. Therefore since this plant  is a carotenoids, definitely it must absorbed in Blue-violet ,(400-550mn) and appear orange-yellow since it did not absorbed this but reflects  back to eyes.

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

the process of transcription is defined as a process by which cells are able to allow for expression of their genes. this involves how DNA is read and written into RNA (mainly messenger RNA). mRNA production then guides the synthesis of various proteins. the process of transcription occurs in three stages which include initiation, elongation and termination. when certain signals interact with the promoter of a gene, transcription is initiated allowing for some regions of the DNA to be transcribed in the 5 to 3' direction. such that the newly synthesized strand of mRNA is complementary to the non coding sequence. Controlling the production of mRNA in the nucleus allows the regulation of gene expression.
