The correct answer is: b. It is free to bind to another promoter and begin transcription
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
• 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.
RNA polymerase is also released and can transcribe some other gene by binding to its promotor. RNA polymerase will transcribe just the genes whose products are needed at a particular moment.
Answer: Light colored peppered moths decreases in number and dark colored peppered moths increases.
Explanation: The population of light colored peppered moths decreases whereas the dark colored peppered moths increases in number because the light colored peppered moths are visible to the predator birds whereas the dark colored peppered moths are not visible due to dark coating of the trees so they are saved from the birds and therefore, increase in population of dark colored peppered moths occurs and decrease occur in light colored peppered moths population.
