Beta-carotene is an antioxidant phytochemical. So, the correct option is (c).

Plants have a pigment called beta-carotene that gives them their color. The Latin term for carrot is the source of the name beta-carotene. Fruits and vegetables that are yellow or orange derive their vibrant colors from it. Additionally, foods like margarine are colored with beta-carotene.

Antioxidant beta-carotene is present. It defends the body against dangerous chemicals known as free radicals. Cells are harmed by free radicals through a process called oxidation. Numerous chronic disorders may develop as a result of this damage over time.

Therefore, Beta-carotene is an antioxidant phytochemical. So, the correct option is (c).

Ne4ueva [31]

The correct answer is: introns

Processing of mRNA is process that occurs only in eukaryotic cells. After the transcription, newly formed mRNA molecule is called and it must be processed into a messenger RNA (mRNA). Processing includes:

• Addition of a 5' cap to the beginning of the RNA

• Polyadenilation- addition of a poly-A tail (tail of A nucleotides) to the end of the RNA

• Splicing- removal of introns and linking the exons

After these steps mRNA is mature and used for the further steps (e.g. translation).

Sometimes some genes are alternatively spliced.
