Answer:

Hawk

Explanation:

Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethan which is also known as DDT is a colorless, tasteless and almost odorless crystalline chemical compound. It was originally developed as an insecticide and it causes harm to wildlife animals.

When the chemical are sprayed or gets in contact with the soil it is the terrestrial organisms such as plants and primary consumers who gets affected the most due to direct contact with the chemical.

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

attacks the outermost phosphorous group of the incoming nucleotide.  

Explanation:

Transcription is the biological process where RNA is formed. As you may already know, RNA is an extremely important nucleic acid for genetic processes and the production of proteins. The transcription has three steps that are called start, elongation and end. In the elongation phase, the RNA strand is growing, at this time, RNA polymerase, which is the enzyme responsible for RNA elaboration, places the nucleotides, in the RNA strand, in the 5' - 3' direction. This enzyme causes the hydroxyl, which makes up the nucleotide at the 3' end of the forming RNA, to attack the phosphorus present in the incoming  ribonucleotide.
