The existence of introns in mRNA-encoding genes seems to be a problem because so much cellular energy goes into splicing them ou

t during transcription. What is one benefit of their presence in eukaryotic cells?

Answer:

In normal conditions, introns serve following functions in the body of an organism:

1) They contain genes of miRNA which are known as Mirtrons, reverse transcriptase, endonucleases, transposase etc.

2) It is because of presence of introns that alternative splicing of mRNA is possible. The sex determination in drosophila is based on alternative splicing.

Apart from this, alternative splicing can be useful and beneficial in an unforeseen situation such as an environmental problem which is faced by the organism for the first time.

Explanation:

Alternative splicing is an important mechanism because with the help of alternative splicing different type of proteins can be synthesized from the same pre mRNA transcript. In case suddenly the surrounding environment of an organism is changed and the environmental conditions have become extremely harsh due to which organism's life is at stake, in such situation organism may make a different type of protein through alternative splicing which can help the organism in survival.  

Default splicing in Drosophila leads to the development of male off-spring while female off-spring is produced as a result of alternative splicing.

Do you think that a biotic or a abiotic factor can be both positive and negative in the same environment?
NNADVOKAT [17]

No, biotic and abiotic factors are the environmental conditions that the organisms have to face to live in a specified environment. Abiotic factors are the physical and chemical conditions of an environment. For example : heat, salinity, pressure, light, wind, pH.Biotic factors are all the biological conditions of an environment for a specie/taxa. It can include prey and predator abundance, available food amount, available space, intra and interspecific competition... The development of organims is under the control of abiotic factors. Some are adapted to heat, cold etc ... The abiotic factors will define which organisms are able or not to live in a specified place. The living organisms will constitute the biotic factors, which define if and how can an organism live in a specified environment. So, the abiotic factors are controling the biotic factors of an environment.

Describe how the lack of water in an environment can affect the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by the plant.
Nezavi [6.7K]

The direct effects of increased carbon dioxide (CO2) on plant growth refers to the change in plant grow with the levels of temperature, precipitation, evaporation and growing season at their present values. The indirect effects include the results of any changes in the other variables which affect plant growth that come as a result of the effect of increased CO2 on global climate.
