List the sequence of events that occur as the avocado seed germinates.

Some people dry the seeds in the oven for two hours at 250°F (121°C). Once the seed is dehydrated, it can be chopped and placed in a blender or food processor until it forms a powder. The powder can then be added to smoothies or used in teas, sauces or dips.

Step 1: Imbibition: water fills the seed.

Step 2: The water activates enzymes that begin the plant's growth.

Step 3: The seed grows a root to access water underground.

Step 4: The seed grows shoots that grow towards the sun.

Step 5: The shoots grow leaves and begin photmorphogenesis.

well, that's easy; the answer's c, "it reduces contamination of the water and substrate of the estuary."

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.
