Answer:

A) Zero

Explanation:

Alternation of generations in plants:

The 'alternation of generations' in the life cycle is between a diploid (2n) generation of sporophytes and a haploid (n) generation of gametophytes.

The following are the events involved in alternation of generations:

  • Two haploid gametes with n chromosomes, fuse to form a diploid zygote i.e. 2n chromosomes in total.
  • The diploid zygote germinates, dividing by mitosis to produce a multi-cellular diploid organism, called the sporophyte (because at maturity it produces spores).
  • When it matures, the sporophyte produces one or more sporangia  that produce diploid spore mother cells (sporocytes). These divide by meiosis, reducing the number of chromosomes by a half. This  results in four haploid spores, each containing n unpaired chromosomes.
  • The haploid spore germinates, dividing by mitosis, maintaining the number of chromosomes at n. This results in a haploid organism, called the gametophyte (because it produces gametes at maturity).
  • When it matures, the gametophyte produces one or more gametangia that produce haploid gametes.

A transcription unit that is 8,000 nucleotides long may use 1,200 nucleotides to make a protein consisting of approximately 400
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

A) many noncoding stretches of nucleotides are present in mRNA.

Explanation:

A transcription unit in eukaryotes includes the region that code for mRNA extending from the 5' cap site to the 3' poly-A site. It also includes the controlling regions. The mRNA formed by transcription also has some non-coding intervening sequences. These are called introns. Introns are removed from the primary transcripts by the process of splicing that occurs after transcription.

Therefore, a transcription unit that is 8,000 nucleotides long may use only 1,200 nucleotides to code for a protein having 400 amino acids since the rest of the nucleotides are part of introns and are removed from mRNA after transcription.
