Worked with a batch of heat-killed S strain (pathogenic) bacteria. They divided it into 5 batches. In the first batch, they destroyed the polysaccharide coat of the bacteria; in the second batch they destroyed its lipid content; they destroyed the RNA of the bacteria in the third batch; with the fourth batch, they destroyed the proteins; and in the last batch, they destroyed the DNA. Each of these batches was individually mixed with live R (non-pathogenic) strain bacteria and injected into individual mice table al herter d From all 5 mice, all of them died except the last mouse. From all the dead mice, live S strain bacteria was retrieved. ~ 0 How does ANS:It Two possible heritable?

Transcription begins with initiation, as the RNA polymerase attaches to the promoter. 2. During the second phase, elongation, the RNA grows longer. 3. Finally, in the third phase, termination, the RNA polymerase reaches a sequence which signals the end of transcription. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 2 Transcription – Initiation + Elongation (Prokaryotes) Recognized RNA by the polymerase Initiation occurs in the promoter region: 3 S • From -35 to -10 ↳A • +1 Transcription start site 35 - - - 100 - 7O 10 begins start + 10 site gi 100 + polymerase transcription Steps: 1.
