Answer:

Base

Explanation:

A base is a substance which releases hydroxyl ion (OH-). Bases are also known as alkalis and physically they are soapy and bitter in taste. In litmus paper test, they give blue color. An acid on the other hand is a substance which releases a proton or Hydrogen ion (H+). Acid and base both react to form a salt and the process is known as neutralization reaction. We have a pH scale which has a range from 0 to 14. If a substance has a pH more than 7 then that means it is a base but if a substance has pH less than 7 then the substance is acid.

One of the examples of base is sodium hydroxide (NaOH) which dissociates into Na+ & OH- to release OH-.

What is DNA, and how does it function in cells?

Tom [10]

DNA, short for deoxyribonucleic acid, is present in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and floats around in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells. DNA produces blueprints which RNA carry out to ribosomes to code for protein. You can say that DNA passes genetic material through generations.

The letter X in the diagram below represents what enzyme used in the process shown?

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: Option D. RNA polymerase.

Explanation:

Transcription is the process which is used to produce RNA from a DNA template.
The enzyme involved in the process of transcription is RNA polymerase which is responsible for separating the DNA strands and making an RNA which is complementary to the DNA.
RNA polymerase joins the nucleotides in the newly formed RNA strands by utilizing the energy released from the cleavage of the additional phosphate bonds that are removed by it.
The RNA polymerase dissociates from the DNA only after the process of transcription is complete.
