Answer: Yes. Splicing can be done in different ways to yield different mRNAs wich will create different proteins. Prokaryotes are not able to do this.
Explanation:
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a molecule that contains the genetic information for synthesizing amino acids that form proteins. To do this, DNA must first be transcribed into RNA (ribonucleic acid) and this is the molecule used for protein synthesis (translation). The newly transcribed RNA (called primary messenger RNA) from DNA results in a very long molecule and also has regions that do not code for anything, called introns, which are removed by a process called splicing. Exons are segments in the RNA that do code for amino acids and remain in the mature mRNA after splicing.
<u>Splicing is a process by which introns are cleaved from the primary messenger RNA and exons are joined to generate mature messenger RNA.</u> In addition, alternative splicing occurs which allows different mRNA isoforms and thus different proteins to be obtained from a primary mRNA transcript. This is because the exons will be joined or spliced in different ways, giving rise to different mature messenger RNA sequences. This process occurs mainly in eukaryotes, although it can also be observed in viruses. But it does not take place in Prokaryotes (Bacteria).
In summary, exons/introns can be spliced together in different ways to yield different mRNAs sequences. Each different mRNA sequence will code for a different protein.
Answer: A warm front forms when a warm air mass pushes into a cooler air mass, also shown in the image. Warm fronts often bring stormy weather as the warm air mass at the surface rises above the cool air mass, making clouds and storms.
Answer:
Plant-like:
presence of flagella
shows the absence of cell wall, though chloroplast may be present
Animal-like:
absence of cell wall, as well as chloroplast
Fungus-like:
feeds on decaying matter
enclosed by a membrane called a pellicle
slime mold belongs in this category
Explanation:
The protists can be classified into three groups (plant-like, animal-like, fungus-like) based on the method of nutrition, movement, and mode of reproduction.
Plant-like protists have chloroplasts and trapped sunlight to form food ad energy (photosynthesis). They also have flagella used for the movement.
Example: Algae
Animal-like protists are heterotrophs that cannot make their food. They do not have chloroplast and cell wall outside the cell membrane.
Example: Protozoa
Fungus-like protists are single-cell eukaryotes that have a protective layer outside the cell membrane called pellicle. They feed on decaying organic matter.
Example: Slime mold and water mold
