Give correct explanation, why RNA polymerase can initiate a new RNA chain on a DNA template without any primer?

A. Because RNA polymerase starts most transcripts with an A, and that ribonucleotide binds the template nucleotide (T) with only two hydrogen bonds.

B. The enzyme has to make specific interactions with one or all of the DNA template strand, the initiating ribonucleotide, and the second ribonucleotide—holding one (or all) rigidly in the correct orientation to allow chemical attack on the incoming NTP.

C. The structure of the open complex shows that the s region 3/4 linker interacts with the template strand, organizing it in the correct conformation and location to allow initiation.

D. Consistent with this, in experiments using an RNA polymerase containing a s70 derivative lacking this part of s, initiation requires much lower than normal concentrations of one or both of the first two ribonucleotides.

In the S phase of meiotic interphase, each chromosome replicates, producing two copies of each allele, one on each chromatid, the homologous chromosomes segregation takes place in__

Which of the following statements is correct about the segregation of chromosomes?

a.If no crossing over has taken place, the two chromatids of each chromosome segregate in anaphase II and are identical

b. If crossing over has taken place, the two chromatids are no longer identical, and the different alleles segregate in anaphase II

c. If no crossing over has taken place, the two chromatids of each chromosome segregate in anaphase I and are identical

There are four genes which control the phenotype and assort independently such as A, B, C and D. If the genotype Aa Bb Cc Dd is selfed then what is the probability for progeny which shows the dominant phenotype for AT LEAST ONE of  phenotypes controlled by
