Remember RNA Polymerase? (You labeled a Wolbachia RNA Polymerase earlier.)

a. There is a different RNA Polymerase that works to transcribe the Insect CO1
gene.
b. Label the “RNA Polymerase” that makes the CO1 mRNA product on the electron
micrograph

It seems like you're referring to a specific task involving an electron micrograph related to RNA polymerase and the transcription of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (CO1) gene in insects. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to view or analyze images, including electron micrographs. However, I can provide you with information on how RNA polymerase functions in the transcription process.

In eukaryotic cells (which includes insects), RNA polymerase II is primarily responsible for transcribing mRNA from DNA, including the CO1 gene. This enzyme binds to the promoter region of the gene and synthesizes the mRNA strand using the DNA template.

If you have specific questions about the components involved in this process or how to label them in your electron micrograph, please provide details, and I would be happy to help further!
