"an average human has a heart rate of 70 beats per minute. if someone's heart beats at that average rate over a 70-yr lifetime, how many times would it beat? "

Answer : The number of beats (N) in the lifetime is beats.

Explanation :

First we have to determine the life time (T) of the person in the unit of minutes.

T = 70 year = (70 × 365 × 24 × 60) minutes

Conversions used :

1 year = 365 days

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

As we are given the rate (R) of the heart beat  is, 70 beats/minutes.

R = 70 beats/minutes

Now we have to determine the number of beats (N) in the lifetime.

N = RT

N = (70 beats/minutes) × (70 × 70 × 365 × 24 × 60) beats

N = beats

Therefore, the number of beats (N) in the lifetime is beats.

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.

if you listed your answers right then i believe your answer is b.
