13. if a chemical interfered with the ability of rna polymerase to bind to a dna molecule, what would be the result? a) dna would not replicate. b) transcription would not take place and the protein would not be produced c) the rna polymerase would be produced. 14. a grown tiger began its life as a single fertilized egg. which process causes the adult tiger to look so much different as an adult that it did as a single fertilized egg? a) transcription. b) cell differentiation. c) biotechnology.

The correct option for first part is- B)

Transcription is a biological process that leads to the formation of mRNA ( messenger RNA) using a template of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) with the help of an enzyme, which is called RNA polymerase. mRNA is further converted into a particular protein through a process called translation.

Thus, if a chemical interferes with the ability of RNA polymerase to bind to a DNA molecule, transcription and translation would not take place.

The correct answer for second part of question is- B) Cell differentiation.

A fertilized egg is a one celled stage that undergoes process of cell division and differentiation in order to form an individual organism.

Differentiation is a process of development that changes a cell from undifferentiated state ( where cell does not serve any specific function) to a specialized state (also called differentiated state), which serves a specific function to the cell. For instance, formation of nerve cells, muscle cells, blood cells.

Thus, through a process of differentiation, an adult tiger becomes dissimilar from a single fertilized egg of tiger.

as resources become scarce because of population growth, the growth decreases after few years due to lack of resources and food.
