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

How many neutrons does element's x have if it's atomic number is 52 and it's mass number is 153?
Over [174]
Answer: 101 neutrons

An element's atomic number is the number of protons in its nucleus. X has 52 protons. The mass number is simply the number of protons AND neutrons in the nucleus. Since 52 is given, it's correct to assume that the remainder consists of neutrons. 153-52 will give you the number of neutrons.

Hope this helps! :)

GarryVolchara [31]

<u>Correct option/s </u>:

All plants are multicellular.

All plants are eukaryotic.

All plants are autotrophic.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Not all plants are vascular, for example mosses. They don't have specialized system for transport of water and solutes. Therefore, Option 1 is false.

Only bacteria, protista and yeast are unicellular. Rest all the organisms are multicellular. Thus option 2 is true.

Only bacteria are prokaryotic, rest all organisms are eukaryotic, including all the plants. Option 3 is true.

Plants are the only organisms which are autotrophic. Although apart from this mode of nutrition, plants can be parasitic or carnivorous as well. But primarily they all are autotrophic. Option 4 is true

Not all plants need sunlight, some get energy from the chemical substances from their surroundings. Option 5 is False.

Plants reproduce by sexual as well as asexual means. Not all plants reproduce sexually. Option 6 is false.
