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 of the following statements is true?

Lelu [443]

Answer:

The true statement is: "Spring tides are the highest, while neap tides are the lowest."

Explanation:

The range of difference in the level of water between high and low tide is always larger in spring tide.

Neap tides are the moderate tides. It does not have huge difference in higher and low tides because the bulging of the ocean ( by the sun) balances the bulge of the ocean caused by the moon.
This balance is not found in spring tides that is the main reason for spring tides to have the highest level for both higher and lower tides.
