Ruth Burgess · Answer 1

a. the RNA polymerase undergoes abortive initiation prior to promoter clearance

Explanation:

In eukaryotes the 3' end of the mRNA is polyadenylated to protect the mRNA from degradation.

In eukaryotes, a modified guanine cap is added to the 5' end of the mRNAd to protects the transcript from being broken down.

Most bacterial RNA transcripts do not undergo splicing.

The nucleosome is the basic unit of chromatin repeat in eukaryotes.
