Use the HR diagram below to answer the question. Labeled HR diagram. The main sequence slopes from the upper-left of the diagram, which is blue, to the bottom-left of the diagram, which is red-orange. White dwarfs cluster at the bottom of the diagram, in the light blue section. Red giants cluster in the middle of the diagram, in the orange-red section. Red supergiants cluster at the top of the diagram, in the orange-red section. Which of the following types of stars had a greater initial mass? (2 points) Blue main sequence Orange main sequence Supernova White dwarf

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.

thats not even an aswer choice
