Considering that males can have Klinefelter (XXY) syndrome, XYY, and normal XY chromosomal combinations, and females can have Tu

rner (XO) syndrome, poly-X (XXX, XXXX), and normal XX combinations, it is obvious that
(A) maleness results from the presence of only one X chromosome
(B) maleness results from the absence of two or more X chromosomes
(C) maleness results from the minimal presence of one Y chromosome
(D) femaleness results from the presence of two or more X chromosomes

Answer:

(C) maleness results from the minimal presence of one Y chromosome

Explanation:

Human males have one Y and one X chromosome as their sex chromosomes. However, the human males with Klinefelter (XXY) syndrome have two copies of X chromosome as the human males but also have one Y chromosome. Similarly, human females have two X chromosomes as sex chromosomes but the females with Turner (XO) syndrome have only one X chromosome and the females with poly-X (XXX, XXXX) have more than two X chromosomes.

This means that the  Y chromosome regulates sex in human beings. If one copy of the functional Y chromosome is present in the cells, the fetus will develop into a male. The absence of a functional Y chromosome will make the fetus develop into a female.

IRISSAK [1]
Answer:
Letter E - exons are cut from the strand and removed

Explanation:

Letter A and B are incorrect because the poly-A tail and guanine cap are added to the 3’ and 5’ end respectively. They aid in translation of the mRNA, while serving as protection. The poly-A tail is repeated adenine nucleotides, while the guanine cap is a modified guanine nucleotide.

Letter C is incorrect because alternative splicing is one mechanism for generating variation, and is thought to be one of the reasons for why humans have smaller genomes than other organisms and still maintain high complexity. Alternative splicing is incredibly important because it produces more than one transcript from a pre-mRNA.

Letter D is incorrect because introns are the non coding portions of the mRNA. They are excised to make a smaller mRNA transcript, and one that contains all the protein genes.

This letter E is the correct answer, because exons are the coding portions of the mRNA, and are not excised during RNA processing.

Hope that helped! If I made a mistake, please let me know.
