What is the term for the nucleotide sequences that are removed during mrna processing?

Biology
1 answer:
Ne4ueva [31]3 years ago
7 0

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.

How is tonicity similar to osmotic pressure?
ivann1987 [24]
<span>Tonicity is the measure or amount of the osmotic pressure gradient. 
Osmotic pressure is defined as the amount of external pressure that is required to stop the net movement of the solution across the semi permeable membrane. In terms of biology, osmosis has great importance as most of the membranes in our body are semi permeable. Permeability depends on several factors such as charge, solubility, solute size and chemistry. Osmosis is the process that provides the primary means through which water travels in and out of the cells.</span>

Consider the following pairs of organisms: large predators and small predators; large herbivores and small herbivores; and migra
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Non-migratory animals and small herbivores

Explanation:

Habitat fragmentation is the process by which a previously continuous stretch of land becomes fragmented into smaller patches that are separated, causing the environment to be broken up, and to become discontinuous. For example, humans chopping down patches of trees in forests.

Animals that cannot freely move around (non-migratory mammals) will be most affected by this since they cannot simply move between the isolated pieces of land. Smaller herbivores will also be affected, because they generally do not freely move around and cover large spaces like large herbivores or predators.

Which of the following options best depicts the flow of information when a gene directs the synthesis
valentina_108 [34]

The flow of <u>DNA → mRNA → protein </u>depicts the flow of information when a gene directs the synthesis of a cellular component.

Explanation:

Genetic information needs to flow in a specific pattern in order a gene to transform into a component like protein. This transformation takes place through the processes of transcription inside the nucleus and translation in the ribosomes. So the pathway: DNA → mRNA → protein will be correct flow of information for protein synthesis from DNA code. The mRNA or the messenger RNA encodes the genetic information or the chemical blueprint of the particular protein to be synthesized. This flow represents the central dogma of genetic information pathway or flow, which is; DNA encodes the RNA and the RNA encodes the Protein
