What does “intron” stand for?

Biology
1 answer:
suter [353]3 years ago
7 0

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

Suppose a new mutation that improves metabolic efficiency is lost from a small population of mammals living in a region of seaso
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

C) genetic drift.

Explanation:

Genetic drift is the random change in the frequency of alleles in a population due to random sampling. Many circumstances can lead to genetic drift for example bottleneck effect, founder effect, etc.

The bottleneck effect occurs when most of the members of a population die because of any natural disaster like flood, fire, etc. This can cause a certain allele to be lost in the remaining population because of losing major populations. So here due to hurricane half of the mammal population gets eliminated which shows it is an example of the genetic drift.

Why are dominant alleles not necessarily more common than recessive alleles?
marta [7]
It all depends on the trait. If the dominant is more common that the recessive trait then it is more likely to a dominant trait in the gene pool. But if the recessive trait is more common in the gene pool then you will have a recessive trait. Does this make sense? Let me know if I'm right!
