7. A corpse was discovered in an apartment last November. It was that 1 point
of a 50 year-old male who died of a heart attack. At the time of discovery,
the body temperature was determined to be 89°F. What is the most
probable post mortem interval?
O2 hours
04 hours
06 hours
14 hours

6 hours

Explanation:

after death every hour drops to 1.5 the temperature so if you multiply 6 * 1.5 it equals 9 and if you subtract that the 97.6 which is the average heat temperature of the adult then you will get 88.6 degrees which would be around your question

step 1: initiation

initiation is the beginning of transcription. it occurs when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

step 2: elongation

elongation is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

step 3: termination

termination is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.
