In a study of inattentional blindness, Daniel Simons and colleagues presented an unexpected event, such as a woman with an umbrella crossing the room from left to right, to a group of participants who were trying to monitor the number of passes that a particular basketball team made in a film. When questioned later about anything unexpected that happened in the film... Overall, 46% of the participants failed to notice the woman at all T/F

Explanation:

Inattentional blindness is a phenomenal that is seen when attention is shifted to a different object or task and observers missing out on an unexpected object, though it may have taken place at the point of fixation. The research study was undertaken to find out on inattentional blindness for complex objects and occurrences in dynamic scenes as most people will miss out on a seemingly obvious, but unexpected occurrence if they are involved in a different monitoring task. Inattentional blindness is reliant on the nature and difficulty of the primary assignment. This indicates that where there is lack of attention, there is no conscious perception.

It was observed that in total, 54% noticed the unexpected event and 46% did not.

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.
