Eukaryotic transcripts (mRNA) have to undergo capping and splicing before it can be translated.

<h3>RNA processing:</h3>

1. An RNA transcript is first produced in a eukaryotic cell as a pre-mRNA, which needs to be converted into a messenger RNA (mRNA).

2. The RNA transcript is given a 5' cap at the start and a 3' poly-A tail at the end.

3. The process of splicing involves cutting out some RNA transcript segments (introns), then joining the remaining segments (exons) back together.

4. Some genes have the ability to alternate splices, which produces various mature mRNA molecules from the same beginning transcript.

The introns not only do not contain the information necessary to construct a protein, but they also need to be cut off in order for the mRNA to create a protein with the correct sequence. An mRNA with extra "junk" in it will be created if the spliceosome fails to remove an intron, and the translation process will result in the production of the incorrect protein.

use the following term to create a concept map: Chromosome, duplication, cytokinesis, prokatyote, mitosis, cell cycle, binary, f
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The words depict the phenomenon of cell division in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

The possible concept map that could be drawn from these words could be:

Number 1:

Cell cycle in a eukaryote occurs through the process of mitosis (or meiosis) and chromosomes duplicate by this process. Cytokinesis separates the two daughter cells by separating the cytoplasm of the two cells.

Number 2:

Cell cycle in a prokaryote involves the method of binary fission.

AnnyKZ [126]
Fungal hyphae extend continuously at their extreme tips, where enzymes are released into the environment and where new wall materials are synthesised. ... So, in effect, a fungal hypha is a continuously moving mass of protoplasm in a continuously extending tube.
