If an electron Is gained, the atom has a ___ charge.

negative

Explanation:

electrons have negative charges and elements are usually neutral. so if you add a negative, it will make the atom have a negative charge. think of it as a seesaw, in an atom there are 10 protons and 10 electrons, if an 11th electron friend joins, the seesaw will lean more towards the negative side now. :) hope i helped

negative

Explanation:

when and atom gains an electron it's said to be an anion(negatively charged ion)

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.

c is the correct answer hope this !
