The transformation of gneiss into mica, quartz, and feldspar crystals is an example of physical weathering and disintegration and is denoted as option E.

<h3>What is Weathering?</h3>

This is a process in which rocks are broken down into smaller particles through series of mechanisms and factors.

Gneiss is referred to a type of metamorphic rock which is subject to physical weathering when subjected to factors such as high pressure etc.

The rock also undergoes disintegration into mica, quartz, and feldspar crystals under different types of conditions which is why option E was chosen as the most appropriate choice.

What would happen if a cell transcribed and translated a gene’s intron by mistake?
wariber [46]

An intron is a non-coding region of DNA. During alternative splicing, introns are removed.

  • During eukaryotic transcription, a fragment of DNA (e.g., a gene) is used as a template to synthesize a complementary RNA sequence, usually a precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA).

  • Subsequently, this pre-mRNA is processed by a mechanism called alternative splicing in order to produce a mature mRNA which is then used as template to synthesize a protein by a process called translation.

  • During alternative splicing, non-coding regions of a gene called 'introns' are removed, where coding regions called 'exons' are spliced back together.

  • If a cell transcribed and translated a gene’s intron by mistake, then additional amino acids would be inserted into the protein and therefore the resulting protein will be longer than normal.
