Think about your Initial Natural Selection Model. How did you model both variation in traits and parents passing down traits to offspring? 1) I modeled variation in traits by

2) I modeled parents passing down traits to offspring by

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.

the flagellates share a facultative mutualist association with termites. mutualism is a biological interaction between individuals of different species, where both benefit from each other. this is called cooperation and it differs from other interactions such as cases of exploitation, such as parasitism, predation. in this interaction called association, both species cooperate and benefit.
