Answer:
C) no, the final mRNA contains only exons, the introns were removed
Explanation:
Exons are the coding areas while the introns are non-coding areas. Both of these are the sequences of nucleotide within a gene.
RNA splicing is a process which usually occurs as the RNA matures, causing the removal of introns ( non coding areas of the RNA ) i-e they will not be expressed in the final messenger RNA, while exons continue to form covalent bonds with one another to form a mature mRNA.
So in the given scenario, Upon comparison, the mRNA is found to contain 1,000 fewer bases than the DNA sequence because the introns were removed by RNA splicing.
Hence option C) no, the final mRNA contains only exons, the introns were removed is correct.
They must occur in the DNA, which is in each cells nucleus. More specifically the nucleolus of the cell. A mutation occurs in an allele, where a base triplet (or a codon) gets transcribed incorrectly.
Answer:
Western blot should be performed
Explanation:
Generally ELISA test is sensitive to elevated antibodies levels in the blood. Because HIV infection is characterise with increases in antibodies levels(HIV-antibodies levels)of the body, it is usually the first screening test for HIV,however it is also sensitive to elevated antibody from any other infection apart from HIV. Therefore for confirmation, the procedure is to run a second ELISA test, to determine if the antibody rise was due to HIV or not. If the second test turns positive, then Western blot can be applied.
The Western blot through secondary and primary antibodies binding , separates the investigating antibodies, and identity the specif HIV antibodies present to give a positive HIV-antibody, confirming ELISA positive test.
Thus for confirmation of HIV specific antibodies of the blood; ELISA test followed by Western blot is ideal
Stable isotopes refers to those isotopes that do not undergo radioactive decay. Oxygen atoms with atomic number of 16 and 18 are examples of stable isotopes. These isotopes of oxygen are usually found in substances such as polar ice and calcite. These substances are usaually measure with isotope fractionation and the ratios obtained are used to estimate water temperature of ancient oceans. From this, scientists can find out facts about ancient climates,
