Answer:

The impact on the loss in the activity of the OmpF proteins could alter the permeability of certain drugs thus avoiding the antibacterial effect. And a change or alteration in the ToIC protein could alter the transport capacity of certain harmful substances, thereby achieving hostile environmental conditions.

Explanation:

A modification in the OmpF porins would primarily affect the antibiotic drug line, including carbapenems and cephalosporins. A loss in the activity of the OmpF porins would favor resistance to antibiotics and to the change in the transport of molecules allowing the activation of expulsion pumps, resulting in the aforementioned resistance.

On the other hand, when the ToIC proteins are modified, a system that causes the antimicrobial drugs to be expelled would be activated, this system being known as exit pumps, however, this system does not transport some more hydrophobic beta-lactam beta or some aminoglycosides.

What is the term for the nucleotide sequences that are removed during mrna processing?
Ne4ueva [31]

The correct answer is: introns

Processing of mRNA is process that occurs only in eukaryotic cells. After the transcription, newly formed mRNA molecule is called and it must be processed into a messenger RNA (mRNA). Processing includes:

• Addition of a 5' cap to the beginning of the RNA

• Polyadenilation- addition of a poly-A tail (tail of A nucleotides) to the end of the RNA

• Splicing- removal of introns and linking the exons

After these steps mRNA is mature and used for the further steps (e.g. translation).

Sometimes some genes are alternatively spliced.
