What happens right before transcription begins?

Biology

Ahat [919]3 years ago

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 feature do all adult echinoderms have?
Lana71 [14]
The phylum Echinodermata , which contains about 6000 species, gets its name from the Greek, literally meaning "spiny skin." Many echinoderms actually do have "spiny" skin, but others do not. This phylum exists exclusively in the sea, and cannot be found on land or in fresh water. All echinoderms have one thing in common: radial symmetry. This means that the creatures have appendages (or body construction) which point outward from the center of the body like the spokes on a bicycle wheel. Furthermore, these appendages usually occur in multiples of five, although there are a few exceptions. There are several well known members of this group, like sea stars and sea urchins. The radial symmetry is obvious in these creatures.
