It has been recently determined that the gene for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is more than 2000 kb (kilobases) in length;

however, the mRNA produced by this gene is only about 14 kb long. What is a likely cause of this discrepancy?
(A) More amino acids are coded for by the DNA than by the mRNA.
(B) The exons have been spliced out during mRNA processing.
(C) When the mRNA is produced, it is highly folded and therefore less long.
(D) The introns have been spliced out during mRNA processing.
(E) The DNA represents a double-stranded structure, whereas the RNA is single-stranded.

Answer. D

Explanation:

After the messenger RNA (mRNA) is formed, it has to go trough different steps before being translated into proteins, also known as maturation of the mRNA. One of the most important steps is splicing, a process that removes the introns (regions of the sequence that do not codify for any particular amino acid sequence or protein). In other words, the splicing process removes sequences that do not generate any protein, leaving only the exons to be translated into protein. However, the genes (within our DNA) will contain exons and introns; Therefore, the gene sequence will have more kilobases compared to mature mRNA as the introns in this macromolecule have been spliced out.  

I hope this clarify your question .

Dahasolnce [82]
I believe in both groups , the sperm swim from antheridia to aronia. Both are tied to water by swimming sperm that require water to reach eggs. Neither of them has pollen, seeds, flowers, or fruits. Seedless vascular plants, however, have xylem and phloem, which bryophytes lack. For seedless vascular plants Cells in diploid sporophyte such as fern from undergo meiosis, releasing haploid spores that germinate and develop into gametophytes. Bryophytes reproduce sexually by forming sperm and egg cells within separate haploid male and female gametophytes.

How are babies made and how long it takes for the baby to form in the mothers belly
Gnom [1K]
For women, the possibility of pregnancy begins in the ovaries. A woman is born with 1 to 2 million eggs, more than a lifetime's supply. The eggs begin dying off almost immediately and she never produces more. The average egg lives only about 24 hours, so it has to be fertilized soon for pregnancy to happen. If it doesn't get fertilized on time, it either dissolves or is absorbed by the body. When an egg is fertilized, its own genetic material and the genetic material of the sperm that got to the egg first combine to create a new cell that starts dividing rapidly. A woman isn't actually pregnant until that new bundle of cells (called the embryo) travels down the fallopian tube and attaches to the wall of the woman's uterus. The average pregnancy lasts for 38 weeks from the date you conceive (called conception). However, doctors usually date your pregnancy from the first day of the woman's last menstrual period. Using this method, a pregnancy is said to last 40 weeks, or 280 days.
