Answer:

Bacteria do not possess the tendency to withdraw sequences of introns from a gene, thus, if the gene for the human growth hormone were transcribed, it would translate into a non-functional protein.  

When the expression of a gene takes place in eukaryotes, the budding mRNA comprising introns are removed consequently at the time of post-translational processing to produce mature mRNA. Also, the human growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland in the form of a pre-hormone comprising a leader peptide of about 20 amino acids in length, which need to get removed post-translationally to produce a mature functional protein.  

Bacteria do not possess the biochemical machinery either to effectively withdraw the leader peptide after translation or to splice out the introns. Thus, when an unchanged human growth hormone is cloned, the bacteria cannot produce the functional human growth hormone.

Which of the following is a true statement about lava that contains large amounts of dissolved gases? Lava that produces violent
anygoal [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The dissolved gases produce violent eruption as they escape. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Magma contains dissolved gases and these dissolved gases induce vapor <em>pressure on the magma.</em> The magma is able to remain in the dissolved state itself without erupting because this vapor pressure is less than the confining pressure of the <em>rock surrounding the magma. </em>

One the vapor pressure exceeds this confining pressure the dissolved gases begin to  expand and<em> forms small gas bubbles</em>.

The <em>density of these gas bubbles</em> called vesicles is less than the density of magma and thus naturally tries to push out. When the gas bubbles escape the magma is also pushed out. Thus greater <em>amount of dissolved gases result in violent eruptions. </em>
