An intron is a non-coding region of DNA. During alternative splicing, introns are removed.
- During eukaryotic transcription, a fragment of DNA (e.g., a gene) is used as a template to synthesize a complementary RNA sequence, usually a precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA).
- Subsequently, this pre-mRNA is processed by a mechanism called alternative splicing in order to produce a mature mRNA which is then used as template to synthesize a protein by a process called translation.
- During alternative splicing, non-coding regions of a gene called 'introns' are removed, where coding regions called 'exons' are spliced back together.
- If a cell transcribed and translated a gene’s intron by mistake, then additional amino acids would be inserted into the protein and therefore the resulting protein will be longer than normal.

The parts of the alimentary canal listed in order are the mouth, pharynx or throat, esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine. The alimentary canal is the digestive system and includes the parts of the body with which food comes in contact from eating to waste elimination.
Answer:
Option (3)
Explanation:
The continental crust is usually thick because it has an average thickness of about 35-40 km. In the high mountain ranges, it is the thickest, forming about 80 km on an average. These are formed when two continental plates form a sandwich pattern by sharing a convergent type of plate boundary.
For example, the thickest part of the crust is the Mt. Everest which lies in the great Himalayan range, which has started to form about 50 million years back. It is geologically the most recent mountain range.
The older mountains are continuously eroded in the geological past, as a result of which the height of the mountains is affected.
Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
