What happens right before transcription begins?

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.

Thymine dimers can be repaired by Photoreactivation Repair or Nucleotide Excision Repair. - true or false?

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:True

Explanation:Basically thymine diamers are mismatched pairs (thymine binds with another thymine instead of binding with adenine) and may lead to unwanted results so the mismatching can be repaired by using two methods which are as follows :

1-the PRE enzyme activated by blue light breaks the thymine diamer and some of the surrounding bonds the strand is cut and DNA polymerase then restores the normal base pairing

2-UVR system breaks dimer creating a gap when a gap is created and the molecules appear unpaired it is filled by proof readers hence restoring normal base pairing.

Neko [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

The tar located in the La Brea tar pits is today a fossil fuel that began its formation many hundreds of millions of years ago from the bodies of marine organisms. During the last ice age that ended a few tens of thousands of years ago, some animals got trapped in the tar and left their bones behind. They are not something that created it but only got trapped in preexisting tar.
