5 0
A human needs approximately 2-5 percent of protein for the typical energy needed daily. Protein is one of the most important building blocks in the body. It helps the bones, muscles, skin, blood, and cartilage. A humans nails and hair are made of protein. The protein your body uses also repairs tissues and build new ones.

Which of the following is an example of post-transcriptional control of gene expression?a. gene amplification contributing to ca
MAVERICK [17]

The correct answer is: b. the removal of introns and alternative splicing of exons

Post-transcriptional regulation includes processes of regulation between transcription and translation such as RNA splicing, capping, addition of poly-A tail,  RNA editing.

RNA splicing represents the process of RNA processing in which newly synthesized pre-mRNA transcript is converted into a mature mRNA. This process occurs only in eukaryotic organism and includes the removal of introns and joining together the exons. RNA splicing might occur during or immediately after transcription and it is performed by spliceosome (complex of small nuclear ribonucleo proteins).

Alternative splicing is a regulated process in which a single gene can code for multiple proteins because particular exons of a gene may be included within or excluded from the final mRNA.

A plant breeder has determined the following variances for yield of corn in his fields:
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

A. VG = 80

B. Broad sense heritability = 0.80

C. Narrow sense heritability = 0.30

D. Average yield = 430 Units

Explanation:

A. Given that

VA = 30

VD = 50

VI = assumed not available

Therefore

Total genetic variance (VG) = VA + VD

= 30 + 50

= 80

VG = 80

B. Given that

VP = 100

VG = 80

Broad sense heritability, H2 = VG/VP

= 80/100

= 0.80

C. Given that

VA = 30

VP = 100

Narrow sense heritability, h2 = VA/VP

=30/100

= 0.30

D. The difference in selection = 500 - 400

= 100

Recall,

Selection response is heritability multiplied by selection differential.

That is

R = h2S

Selection differential = 100

Heritability h2 = 0.30

Selection response = 0.30 × 100

= 30units

Therefore, expected average yield = 400 + 30

= 430 Units
