Answer:

c)Recruit the transcription factors and RNA Polymerase that compose the pre-initiation complex.

Explanation:

Transcription leads to formation of RNA from DNA. The process is carried out by RNA Polymerase which forms a RNA strand according to the template DNA strand.

It starts by the formation of pre-initiation complex. RNA Polymerase along with transcription factors binds to the promoter region of DNA and forms the pre-initiation complex. Generally the eukaryotic promoters have a sequence called as TATA box where the transcription factors bind first. Eventually RNA polymerase also binds to the region and the DNA strands separate starting the transcription process.

Translation is the second phase of protein synthesis. This process occurs in the cytoplasm in an organelle called the ribosome. Where the strand of RNA is deciphered to synthesize peptides.

Organism A has blunt teeth, while organism B has sharp ones. Identify the organisms on basis of their feed habit and give anothe

VikaD [51]

Answer:

- Organism A is most likely a herbivore

- Organism B is most likey a carnivore

Explanation:

Based on feeding habit, organisms, usually animals, can be classified into three categories namely: herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.

- Herbivores are those organisms that feed on vegetative matter i.e. plants while carnivores are those organisms that feed on flesh of other animals or organisms. Based on what they feed on, herbivores are adapted to possess blunt teeth (for chewing) like Organism A in this question while carnivores are adapted to possess sharp teeth (for tearing flesh) like Organism B.

Based on the above explanation, organism A is most likely a HERBIVORE while organisms B is most likely a CARNIVORE.

- Another notable point of difference between herbivores and carnivores, which is likely to differentiate organism A and B as well, is that herbivores possess digestive enzyme- amylase in their saliva while carnivores do not. Herbivores need AMYLASE to break down complex carbohydrate (starch) in the plants they feed on.

Answer:

1. are heterozygous for the disease.

Explanation:

<em>Since the disease causes the death of chicks before hatching, it means that those with the disease cannot be found in the population. In order for the allele of the disease to be passed from generation to generation, there must be parent birds that are carrying the disease in heterozygous state.</em>

Option 1 is the correct option.

IrinaK [193]

Answer: The ATP(Adenosine Triphosphate) that will be generated if one pyruvate molecule is carried through cellular respiration is 36.

Explanation: Pyruvate is formed through glycolysis cycle which breaks down glucose. The pyruvate is used in aerobic cellular respiration via the TCA cycle yielding 2 ATPs and the electron transport system yielding 34 ATPs. That makes it up to a total of 36 ATPs.
