Transcription is the transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA, and it happens in the nucleus.  We can automatically rule out B.  B is incorrect because it doesn't make sense; how can a process stop before it even begins?

A.  I believe this is incorrect because mRNA is involved when the genetic information needs to leave the nucleus.  mRNA would take it to a ribosome outside of a nucleus.  Since transcription happens in the nucleus, mRNA is irrelevant before it starts.

C.  This doesn't really make sense.  mRNA carries information from the DNA, but not vice versa (in these early stages).

D.  This would make the most sense, since RNA polymerase needs to attach to the promoter on the strand before transcription can begin.

Which data from ocean rocks showed seafloor spreading and convinced scientists the theory of plate tectonics was valid? A. densi
Norma-Jean [14]
I believe that paleomagnetism was a key to determining that the seafloors were spreading since the paleomagnetism changes at certain geological intervals so that stripes of new rock with the youngest paleomagnetism would be right at the mid-ocean trenches and successively would be older the further they are from the trench, ie on either side of it, symmetrically.

Which characteristic of living things is important to the survival of a group of animals rather than an individual member of thi
sammy [17]

Answer:

If a whole specie of organisms has to survive, they should must possess the ability to reproduce and adopt to environmental conditions in better way.

For example: If a disaster occurs or a condition of unfavorable weather occurs, the specie will survive even if only few members remain alive. Because those members will reproduce and regrow the community.

The reason is this that reproduction is not important for the survival of one organism, like organism will still survive even if he do not reproduce, but if a whole specie has to survive and continue, reproduction is most important trait.

Hope it help!
