In a wild-type strain of Drosophilathe size of a gene from the start to stop codon is calculated to be 2000 nucleotide pairs. Ho

wever, the size of the mRNA molecule transcribed from this gene is estimated at 1200 nucleotides. The most likely explanation for this discrepancy in size would invoke the existence of:
A)A new stop codon introduced by mutation
B)A frameshift mutation
C)mRNA degradation
D)DNA degradation
E)The presence of one or more introns

Answer:

The correct answer is option E) "The presence of one or more introns".

Explanation:

Introns are non coding sequences located within genetic sequences that are removed during RNA maturation by a process known as RNA splicing. A gene that has 2000 nucleotide pairs but is translated into a mRNA molecule with 1200 nucleotides most likely have one or more introns that in conjunction are of 800 nucleotides in size. Once the intros are removed from the mRNA molecule the coding sequence is ready to be translated into a protein.

This finding indicates the damage of the mid-brain
This is evident due to the Decerebrate posturing, which is characterized by abnormal extension in response to painful stimuli, that indicates damage of the midbrain. On the other hand, damage to the diencephalon or cortex, abnormal flexion, occurs when a painful stimulus is applied. While medulla damage results in flaccidity.

Maurinko [17]

The correct answer is: A. A watery mixture of partially digested food released by the stomach into the intestines

Chyme or chymus is formed in the stomach, during the process of digestion (it takes 40 minutes to 3 hours to be produced) , and it is transported to the small intestine-duodenum.

In the beginning of the digestion (in the mouth), mixture of food and saliva called bolus, is formed. Mechanical and chemical breakdown of a bolus creates chime which is ready for the extraction of nutrients from it.
