Definition: "Copying of information from DNA to RNA which exit nucleus is known as transcription"
Explanation: Transcription is a vital process for living organisms, because it is a staring point for protein synthesis. It occurs inside the nucleus and is carried out by RNA polymerase enzyme. In eukaryotes RNA pol is of three types: these are RNA Pol 1, RNA Pol 2, and RNA Pol 3. In prokaryotes it is of only one type.
Steps in transcription: Transcription consists of three main steps
1. Initiation: In this step RNA pol attach to DNA template at 5 prime end in the promoter region to start the formation of complementary strand of RNA. In prokaryotes there is a region called

Pribnow box, with the </span>consensus sequence<span> TATAAT present about 10 base pair away from site that serves as a transcription initiation. In eukaryotes the promoter region is more complex it contain activator and enhancer.
2. Strand elongation: </span><span>Once transcription is initiated, the DNA double helix unwinds and RNA polymerase reads the template strand, adding nucleotides to the 3′ end of the growing chain.

3. Transcription Termination:
Terminator sequences are found close to the ends of non-coding sequences. Before termination polyadenylation occurs. <span>

It means that only those who are able to adapt with all conditions they are placed in will be able to live.
You can not worry about being shocked due to the cord being insulated not allowing the voltage to go through you but the cord
Answer: The correct answer to the question is option C
BECAUSE YOU HAVE HAD ONE CHILD WITH TAY-SACHS,YOU MUST EACH CARRY THE ALLELE.ANY CHILD YOU HAVE HAS A 25% CHANCE OF HAVING THE DISEASE.
Explanation: Tay- Sachs is a rare disorder that is inherited,it is characterised by a progressive destruction of the nerves of the brain and spinal cord.its onset is from around 6months of life to around 4-5years of age when the child affected eventually dies.
A Child that have Tay-Sachs experiences problem with coordination,muscle contraction, must stiffness and weakness.there is also difficulty is speaking, swallowing, wasting(uncontrolled weightloss), hearing loss,seizure, and vision loss.
Since the parents of the child in the question claims they don't have Tay- Sachs and no one in the family has it but they came down with a child having Tay-Sachs and one of the major factors to Tay-Sachs as stated above is heredity,the main point to counsel the couples on is that because they have had one child with Tay-Sachs,they most each carry the allele which is obviously recessive so any child they had have has 25% chance of having the disease.
<span>All cells in our bodies contain the same exact DNA, believe it or not. It's all epigenetic. The different shapes and functions are due to cellular differentiation and gene expression/silencing.
