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

<h2>Answer is option "b"</h2>

Explanation:

  • Non-ionizing radiation is radiation that has a lower frequency, or longer wavelength, in the EMR spectrum. These frequencies range from that of power lines, radios, and cell phones, up to visible light. Non-ionizing radiation is not powerful enough to break the chemical bonds in molecules. In general, it is not harmful to human health as radiation per se, but could be harmful in terms of the transfer of heat energy. An example of an emitter of non-ionizing radiation is a microwave oven.
  • Non-ionizing radiation is less harmful because the rays carry much less energy. Radio waves, light, and even heat are examples of non-ionizing radiation. For the most part, these kinds of radiation do not cause any damage. However, ultraviolet light is a kind of non-ionizing radiation that can be harmful - it can cause mutations in DNA
  • Non-ionizing radiation is limited to the lower energy range electromagnetic radiation, which is more commonly known as light. However, the light we can see with our eyes, visible light, is only a small section of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum as seen here
  • Hence the right answer is option "b"

What are the reactions of the first stage of photosynthesis
wlad13 [49]

The two stages of photosynthesis: Photosynthesis takes place in two stages: light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions). Light-dependent reactions, which take place in the thylakoid membrane, use light energy to make ATP and NADPH.
