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.

Why human, monkey, horses and birds are considered to have evolved from the same ancestors?​
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Everything at some point belonged to a common ancestor, but these four species are considered to be like this because of similar ancestral traits that have been passed on to generations such a homologous pairs, vestigial structures, they are all mammals, similar amino acid sequences, vertebraes, etc.

SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME OUT... List the products of glycolysis. How many ATP molecules are producedand consumed by glycolysis? W
nydimaria [60]
In Glycolysis, each molecule of glucose yields 2 molecules of pyruvate, 2 molecules of NADH, and a set of 2 molecules of ATP. 
Energy in the form of ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate).Glycolysis takes 1 molecule of glucose and turns it into energy the body can use. Glycolysis is not dependent on Oxygen so Oxygen concentrations don't affect glycolysis.
