Central to the process of transcription is the complex of proteins known as the RNA polymerases. RNA polymerases have been found in all species, but the number and composition of these proteins vary across taxa.
To mitigate the harsh impact of these rules, every state has enacted legislation allowing the formation of a type of partnership known as a limited partnership. A limited partnership consists of one or more general partners and one or more limited partners. The same person can be both a general partner and a limited partner, as long as there are at least two legal persons who are partners in the partnership.
That is, limited partners invest a certain amount of money and have nothing else to do with the business. However, their liability is limited to the amount of the investment. In the worst case scenario for a limited partner, he/she loses what he/she invested. Profits are divided between general and limited partners according to an arrangement formed at the creation of the partnership.
