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

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Changes in genetic makeup occurs with the passage of time.

Explanation:

Antibiotic cause mutation in the bacteria which allowed to develop resistance in the bacteria. This resistance and change in the genetic makeup obeys the theory of evolution which states that all species are changed gradually with the passage of time. The genetic makeup of bacteria also changes with the passage of time and attain resistance due to regular application of antibiotics so due to this resistance, the antibiotic can't work on the bacteria.

How does extinction affect evolution?
Semenov [28]
If a species is said to be extinct, then that species is reduced to zero. There are none living in existence. The affects to other organisms of its extinction would depend on their value to the ecosystem. Regardless, extinction completely stops evolution of the species extinct.

How many cells are produced at the end of meiosis?<br> A.1<br> B.2<br> C.4<br> D.6
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

C.4 is the answer

Explanation:

By the end of meiosis, the resulting reproductive cells, or gametes, each have 23 genetically unique chromosomes. The overall process of meiosis produces four daughter cells from one single parent cell. Each daughter cell is haploid because it has half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell.-
