Which of the following is consistent with the hypothesis of blending inheritance?
a. crossing a purple-flowered pea plant with a white-flowered pea plant
produces only purple-flowered offspring
b. great variability in traits is found within any biological population.
c. crossing two pea plants with yellow seeds produces some offspring with
green seeds
d. a phenotype from the "p" generation of a heredity experiment disappears in
the "f1" generation then reappears in the "f2" generation
e. crossing a red flower with a white flower yields a pink flower

the answer to your question is:

c. complementary base-pairing

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.
