An equinox is an occurrence that happens twice a year and is when the plane of the Earth's equator passes through the center of the Sun. During this, the hours of day and night are almost equal throughout this plane throughout the world.
If there was a larger population of rabbits than dandelions, and the rabbits only ate the dandelions, they would eventually run out. then the rabbits would start to die too, since their main food source is gone.
A cell that has only one set of chromatically would be a haploid.
That is because water has a high heat capacity, meaning it can absorb large amounts of heat without the temperature being affected.
Transcription factors are necessary for an initiation of transcription at a regulated gene but not sufficient.
Transcription is the first step of gene expression in which DNA molecule is copied (transcribed) into RNA (mRNA) by RNA polymerase. The process of transcription is divided into three phases:
1. Initiation
• RNA polymerase with transcriptional factors bind to gene promoter Transcription factors can enhance the interaction between RNA polymerase and a DNA sequence- promoter, encouraging the expression of the gene. Such transcription factors are called activators. Otherwise, when the gene expression is inhibited, factors are called repressors and they bind to sequence –operator.
• RNA polymerase unwinds DNA double helix (transcription bubble is formed)
2. Elongation
• RNA polymerases adds nucleotides complementary to DNA
3. Termination
• RNA polymerase gets to stop codon (transcribes a sequence of DNA known as a terminator)
• Formed complementary RNA strand is released from DNA-RNA complex
