Biology

guajiro [1.7K]3 years ago

<span>Answer: Set point theory suggests that our body has a particular range of weight that it is comfortable in, usually about 10% of a body’s weight. That means, if you weight 175, you have about an 18 pound range; if you weigh 325, you have about a 33 pound range. Most people lose and gain within this set point on a pretty regular basis. They may put on a little weight in the winter and lose it in the spring. Or get busy and drop a little weight. Or gain a little when stressed. Or lose a little during an illness. Or whatever. Movement within this range is normal. However, movement outside of that range is not. In fact the body seeks homeostasis – that is the body seeks to stay within that range. To move outside of that range something must go on, something must happen to the body.</span>

Classify each description as true of introns only, exons only, or both.A-present in eukaryotic genomesB-generally absent from ba
maxonik [38]

The right answers are:

A-present in eukaryotic genomes ==> Both exons and introns

B-generally absent from bacterial genomes ==> Introns

C-part of the final mRNA strand ==> Exons

D-code for an amino acid sequence ==> Exons

E-removed from initial mRNA strand prior to translation ==> Introns

F-present in the DNA used as the template for transcription ==> Both exons and introns

In the genes of eukaryotic organisms, the exons are the segments of an RNA precursor that are conserved in the RNA after splicing and that are found in mature RNA in the cytoplasm. The segments of the RNA precursor that are removed during splicing are called in opposition to introns. Exons are mainly found in messenger RNAs (mRNAs) encoding proteins. Some mRNAs may sometimes undergo an alternative splicing process in which one or more exons may be excised or some introns preserved in rare cases.
