Question
Chapter 29, Problem 12P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To determine the significance of two Mg2+ ions in RNA polymerase II active state.
Concept introduction:
DNA or Deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule made of two chains which coil around one another. These form a double helix which carries instructions genetical in nature like related to reproduction, growth, development, functioning of the living organisms.
There are two Mg2+ ions that are present in the RNA polymerase II active state.

Imagine a warm pond on the primordial Earth.Chance processes have just assembled a single copy of anRNA molecule with a catalytic site that can carry out RNAreplication. This RNA molecule folds into a structure thatis capable of linking nucleotides according to instructionsin an RNA template. Given an adequate supply of nucleo-tides, will this single RNA molecule be able to use itself as atemplate to catalyze its own replication? Why or why not?
