In prokaryotes, rho-independent transcription termination depends on a secondary structure formed in:

a. the RNA polymerase that is transcribing the gene
b. the RNA that is being transcribed.
c. a protein factor that binds to RNA polymerase
d. the DNA template
d. a protein factor that binds to the RNA that is being transcribed.

B. the RNA that is being transcribed.

Explanation:

This is your answer.

9.9 years

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.
