Answer:

The correct answer is deletion mutation.

Explanation:

A deletion mutation takes place when a section or a part of the molecule of a DNA does not get copied at the time of the replication of the DNA. This uncopied section can be as large as an entire chromosome, or can be as small as a single nucleotide. The absence of this DNA at the time of replication can result in a genetic disease. A deletion mutation may result in the shifting of a base sequence, making the base sequence's reading frames to modify at the time of translation.

The type of chromosomal mutation that occurs here is an example of a deletion mutation. Specific genetic data, or DNA is removed and the remaining portions of chromosomal information have rejoined.

When RNA is processed in the nucleus and made ready for transfer out into the cytoplasm for protein synthesis, which of the foll
IRISSAK [1]
Answer:
Letter E - exons are cut from the strand and removed

Explanation:

Letter A and B are incorrect because the poly-A tail and guanine cap are added to the 3’ and 5’ end respectively. They aid in translation of the mRNA, while serving as protection. The poly-A tail is repeated adenine nucleotides, while the guanine cap is a modified guanine nucleotide.

Letter C is incorrect because alternative splicing is one mechanism for generating variation, and is thought to be one of the reasons for why humans have smaller genomes than other organisms and still maintain high complexity. Alternative splicing is incredibly important because it produces more than one transcript from a pre-mRNA.

Letter D is incorrect because introns are the non coding portions of the mRNA. They are excised to make a smaller mRNA transcript, and one that contains all the protein genes.

This letter E is the correct answer, because exons are the coding portions of the mRNA, and are not excised during RNA processing.

Hope that helped! If I made a mistake, please let me know.

4. Describe the cell cycle and cell division and explain their importance to an organism.
Marianna [84]
<span>The main reasons why cell division is important in organisms are reproduction, repair and growth. Cell division is necessary in order for life to continue.
</span><span>
The length of the cell cycle is important because it determines how quickly an organism can multiply. For single-celled organisms, this rate determines how quickly the organism can reproduce new, independent organisms. </span><span>Most of the differences in cell cycle duration between species and cells are found in the duration of specific cell cycle phases. DNA replication, for example, generally proceeds faster the simpler the organisms. One reason for this trend is simply that prokaryotic have smaller genomes and not as much DNA to be replicated.</span>
