What does “intron” stand for?

Biology
1 answer:
suter [353]3 years ago

Introns stands for intervening sequences within a gene.

Explanation:

Introns are the nucleotide sequences within a gene which are intervening but noncoding regions on an RNA transcript which is spliced before the RNA translation to protein

Introns do not code amino acids for protein synthesis. They break the gene sequence in the DNA strand.

The introns form a large chunk and interfere with the protein coding of exons, hence are removed by splicesomes through splicing at the splice junctions.

Improper splicing of introns lead to faulty protein formation

Edwin Hubble used the Doppler effect to determine that the universe is expanding. After years of scientific research and observation of different celestial bodies through a telescope, Hubble found that the light from distant galaxies was shifted towards the red end of the spectrum. This red shift indicates that stars are moving away from us and from each other. This phenomenon is called the 'expansion of the universe', also known as the big band theory.

To help explain surface tension, use a single water molecule in the template, and draw arrows representing the possible location
kramer

Answer:

The correct representation is attached with the explanation.

Explanation:

In this representation of the surface tension, blue arrows between green water molecules are the possible molecules that can be used as the location for forming hydrogen bonds by a single molecule. Surface tension is the tendency of a liquid surface strectch to neighbouring molecules or ability to shrink in minimum surface area possible. Hydrogen bonds is an intermolecular force or interaction responsible for the surface are of liquide molecules. This bonds is towards every direction where the similar molecule present.
