Most cells contain two forms of RNA polymerase. The "core" polymerase is the part that carries out transcription of a gene where the DNA sequence is copied to produce a single-stranded RNA molecule. The core polymerase binds DNA non-specifically as you might expect for a DNA binding protein that has to travel down a large number of different genes. 

<span>When transcription is terminated the core RNA polymerase is released. In order to start a new round of transcription, the core RNA polymerase has to be directed to bind at a promoter, defined as the specific DNA sequence where transcription is initiated. There are specific DNA binding factors that bind to promoters </span>and<span> to RNA polymerase. That's how they direct RNA polymerase to the place where transcription has to start. These factors bind first to core polymerase forming the second form of RNA polymerase called the holoenzyme.</span>

<span>The binding parameters of the </span>E. coli<span> core polymerase and the holoenzyme have been studied in detail. In </span>E. coli<span> cells there are several different versions of holoenzyme. Each one contains a different initiation factor that binds to a different series of promoters. The most common initiation factor is called σ</span>70<span> (sigma-70) and it binds to most of the promoters in the cell.</span>

The steps in transcription initiation are shown in the figure. First, holoenzyme consisting of core polymerase + σ70<span>, binds non-specifically to any stretch of DNA. It then moves along the DNA in a one-dimensional search until it finds a promoter sequence. This is followed by a local unwinding of the DNA and synthesis of a short piece of DNA. </span>

Zinc oxide adopts a face-centered cubic arrangement. Both Zinc ions and oxide ions adopt the face-centered cubic arrangement; wi
vichka [17]

Answer:

5.41 ×10⁻²²

Explanation:

We were told right from the question that both the Zinc ions and the Zinc oxide adopts a face-centered cubic arrangement.

Then, the number of ZnO molecule in one unit cell = 4

The standard molar mass of ZnO = 81.38g

Avogadro's constant = 6.023 × 10²³ mole

∴

The mass of one unit cell of zinc oxide can be calculated as:

= \frac{4*81.38}{6.023*10^{23}}

= 5.40461564×10⁻²²

≅ 5.41 ×10⁻²²

∴ The mass of one unit cell of zinc oxide = 5.41 ×10⁻²²

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Carbon

Explanation:

Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell, so it generally shares it in a covalent bond. This element needs four electrons to be stable, so it can form single (such as the bond with hydrogen), double (such as the bond with oxygen) or triple bonds (such as the bond with nitrogen).

It can also form bonds with other carbon, and they can form longs chains, that's why there are a lot of organic compounds (the compounds with carbon). Carbon can form rings too, such as in benzene.

kvasek [131]
The logarithm from my understanding can never be negative. You can check this on a calculator. You may have a negative if it is shown as -(log x).
