Answer:

the molecules are farther apart in ice than in liquid water.

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that<u> the molecules of water are farther apart in ice than in liquid water.</u>

<em>Water molecules in ice form are usually less dense than water molecules in liquid form. The water molecules in ice usually arrange themselves in a lattice form, unlike the random form in liquid water. This arrangement makes water molecules in ice to be more evenly spread out than in their liquid counterpart. Thus, ice is usually less dense than liquid water and will obey the principle of flotation by floating on water. </em>

Arrange the events taking place during transcription in order: i) The pre-RNA undergoes processing ii) RNA polymerase moves down
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

RNA polymerase binds to the promoter

Polymerase initiates RNA synthesis at the start point on the template strand

RNA polymerase moves downstream unwinding the DNA

RNA transcript is released and polymerase detaches from the DNA

The pre-RNA undergoes processing

Explanation:

The promoter is the specific DNA sequence that serves as a binding site for RNA polymerase. The enzyme RNA polymerase recognizes the promoter sequence and binds to it to begin the process of RNA synthesis. The process of RNA synthesis begins at the start site where the process of the unwinding of DNA duplex is initiated.

The unwinding separates the two DNA strands at the start site where RNA polymerase begins the process of synthesis of the new RNA strand. The newly formed RNA strand and RNA polymerase are released from the template strand after the termination of the process.

In eukaryotes, the primary RNA transcript undergoes the process of splicing of introns, the addition of poly-A tails and 5' cap which in turn transform it into the mature mRNA.
