Answer:

He is either not carrying the gene for RP or the RP gene has mutated.

Explanation:

RP or Retina Pigmentosa is an eye defect inherited by a person from a parent. The disease is degenerative as the individual gradually loses his sight. It normally starts off as night-blindness and could go as bad as a total loss of sight.

The mutation of both the RPGR and RP2 genes which are responsible for the function and structure of light-reception in the eye accounts for most cases of Retina Pigmentosa disease.

Transcription chain elongation is thought to generate ____ supercoils ahead of the transcription bubble and _____ supercoils beh
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a. positive; negative

Explanation:

Transcription is the process of forming an RNA molecule from a DNA template molecule. In this process, the strands of DNA separate and one serves as a template for RNA, while the other is inactive. At the end of the transcript, the tapes that have been split back together again.

The transcription process is divided into three steps: initiation, stretching and termination

During the stretching phase, transcription chain elongation occurs. In this phase the enzyme called RNA polymerase starts to move through the DNA molecule, unwinding its helix and producing an increasingly lengthened RNA molecule. The already transcribed DNA is rewound almost immediately, recomposing its double helix. This process is called the elongation phase.

During this process, it is believed that positive supercoils  are generated ahead of the transcription bubble and  and the negative supercoils behind it.
