What caused the composition of earth’s early oceans to transition from dissolved carbon dioxide to dissolved oxygen? a. ultraviolet rays from the sun converted dissolved carbon dioxide to oxygen. b. excessive rainfall over ocean waters caused carbon dioxide to separate into carbon and oxygen. c. cyanobacteria growing in ocean waters used up carbon dioxide and released oxygen. d. lightning caused the dissolved carbon dioxide in the ocean to decay into oxygen.

The correct answer is C.

The cyanobacteria hypothesis is a leading theory for how O2 was made prevalent.

1. glaciers are melting

2. more water going into ocean (water's such as fresh waters, etc)

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.
