Answer: Permeability.
This property allows liquids to pass through the material but also filters out pieces of garbage and other pollutants. In aquifers, permeable rocks or synthesized permeable material are used so that trash, or clay will not leak into the groundwater.
The answer is impermeability. The protective materials prevent the leakage and seepage of contaminated water (such as those of battery acid and household cleaners), by gravity, to the water table in the aquifer. If this is not done, contamination of groundwater may result and cause a public health disaster when the contaminated water is used for consumption when it reaches water wells.
B. the specific sequence of bases along the DNA strands
C. the location along the chromosome where the double-stranded DNA unwinds
D. the position of the gene’s promoter on the chromosome
E. which of the two strands of DNA carries the RNA primer
Answer:
D. the position of the gene’s promoter on the chromosome
Explanation:
Transcription is the first stage of gene expression or protein synthesis. It is the process of synthesizing a complementary strand of mRNA from a DNA template. This synthesis of complementary RNA strand I carried out by an enzyme called RNA polymerase. RNA polymerase does this by adding complementary nucleotides to the growing RNA strand (3'-5') based on the nucleotide it reads on the 5'-3' of the DNA template.
Before transcription can start, the RNA polymerase needs to recognize and bind to a specific region of the gene called PROMOTER. This signals initiation of the transcription process and also tells the polymerase which unwinded strand of DNA will serve as the template strand and hence, in what direction nucleotides will be added.
N.B: Only one of the separated DNA strands will serve as a template for the synthesis of RNA
