Vitamin C is the water soluble vitamin that can regenerate vitamin E after it has been oxidized. Because vitamin C is an acid, it is reasonably stable in acidic solutions, but in neutral or basic solutions it is easily and rapidly oxidized by dissolved oxygen. The oxidation of vitamin C, Ascorbic acid, is brought about by the loss of two hydrogen atoms as the vitamin is converted to dehydroascorbic acid. Vitamin C functions as antioxidant, assists in synthesis of collagen, a component of the connective tissue, synthesis of DNA, bile, neurotransmitters, thyroid and other hormones.

Which of the following statements is not true about mRNA?

musickatia [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. eukaryotes almost always produce polycistronic mRNA

Explanation:

In eukaryotes one transcription unit contains the information of only one gene which codes for only one protein or polypeptide therefore eukaryotic mRNA is called monocistronic mRNA.

In prokaryotes transription unit contains set of genes adjacent to each other which are transcribed together and codes for multiple proteins. So prokaryotic mRNA is called polycistronic mRNA.

Almost all messenger RNA present in eukaryotes are monocistronic mRNA because eukaryotes are more complex than prokaryotes and require modification at many stages which is easily possible with monocistronic mRNA.
