An animal that does not have the traits to adapt to its surroundings will?
Gennadij [26K]
<h2>It may become endangered </h2>

Explanation: <u><em>If organisms cannot adapt to the changes in their ecosystem, they may move to another location. If they will not move, the species may become threatened, endangered, or extinct. Under an evolutionary phenomenon called relaxed selection, traits that were advantageous in one time and place become obsolete in another. Traits that aren't actively maintained by natural selection tend to become smaller or less functional over time, studies suggest.</em></u>

How does alternative rna splicing affect gene expression?
Elis [28]
RNA splicing was first discovered in 1970s in viruses and subsequently in eukaryotes.  Not long after, scientists discovered alternative patterns of pre-mRNA splicing that produced different mature mRNAs containing various combinations of exons from a single precursor mRNA. The first example of alternative splicing of a cellular gene in eukaryotes was identified in the IgM gene, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Alternative splicing (AS) therefore is a process by which exons or portions of exons or noncoding regions within a pre-mRNA transcript are differentially joined or skipped, resulting in multiple protein isoforms being encoded by a single gene. This mechanism increases the informational diversity and functional capacity of a gene during post-transcriptional processing and provides an opportunity for gene regulation
