stores and releases minerals

Explanation:

The skeletal system in animals helps in their movement, support and to maintain their shape.In humans ,it consists of bones,which works closely with the muscular system.unlike worms and arthropods that have hydrostatic and exoskeleton respectively, humans have endoskeleton.the bones have the following functions;

*It allows the animal move . The skeleton provides support for the body and through the flexible joints ,the body is able to move

*The skeleton protects the internal organs of the body by protecting them against impact.for examples,the ribs protect the lungs and the skull protects the brain.

*Certain cells in the bone produce immune cell and important components of the bone

*The bones also regulate the level of calcium in the blood

What is the purpose of alternative splicing in eukaryotic cells? What is the purpose of alternative splicing in eukaryotic cells
Komok [63]

Answer:

Produce multiple polypeptide sequences from a single primary transcript.

Explanation:

Some genes produce more than one type of protein since the primary transcript encoded by these genes undergoes alternative splicing. These genes mostly have one segment that can serve either as intron or exon. Also called differential splicing, alternative splicing removes the segment as intron but retains it as an exon.

Splicing of the single primary transcript in different ways produces more than one version of mRNA from a single primary transcript encoded by a single gene. The alternative splicing allows the cells to produce multiple types of troponin proteins from single genes. These different troponin regulation muscle contraction in different muscles
