What is not one of the functions of vitamin c? a. to form scar tissue that heals wounds b. to maintain the functions of the reproductive organs c. to protect and recycle vitamin e to its active form d. to promote the absorption of iron e. to produce and maintain collagen?

The answer is b. to maintain the functions of the reproductive organs

Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin that has a role in connective tissue. It produce and maintain collagen and has a role in wound healing. It also increase the iron absorption which makes orange juice a good drink for a meal with meat. Vitamin C will also protect and recycle vitamin e.

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.
