A eukaryotic gene contains 14 exons. Most of the transcripts from this gene contain all 14 exons, but some contain only 11 exons

. Only the 14-exo mRNA encodes a protein that changes its cellular localization in response to phosphorylation. Which mechanisms for producing complexity are exemplified by this gene? Check All That Apply A. DNA-level comblnatorial amplification B. pseudogene formation C. gene duplication and divergence D. alternative splicing E. posttranslational modification

Answer:

D. Alternative splicing is the mechanism that produce complexity in the genes by splicing some of the protein coding part (exons) of a genes

Explanation:

There are certain splicing enhancers sites present in Exons which facilitiates the binding of RNA binding protein specifically SR protein family rich in Serine and Arginine residues. This SR protein will help in splicing of exons.

The significance of this type of mechanism is the ability of a cell to produce an isoform of protein which have retain their function.

This mechanism also help is diversity or in short in evolution.

If potatoes only grow in warm weather, why can we get them in the winter?
Ksivusya [100]
If you plant your potatoes in late August, while it is still hot, you may still have them in the cooler months after. Cool weather doesn't really harm potatoes, they can still grow then, it is only when it is frosty that potatoes die off. The foliage will die, but the potatoes will remain securely underground until you are ready to dig them out. Additionally, potatoes can be grown indoors so that you can always have them.

In men, the purpose of the _______ is to carry semen and urine from inside to outside the body.
Nostrana [21]
Urethra. <span> <span>It is a narrow tube that is connected to both the bladder and the ejaculatory duct (in that order). It is therefore responsible for transporting urine and semen from the body. It is a fibro-muscular duct that is housed by the penis. It outer part of the urethra contains some sphincter muscles that allow voluntary control over urine while the inner part of the urethra allows for involuntary transmission of semen during ejaculation.</span></span>

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

(Fill in the blank) When comparing DNA and structural characteristics between plant species, the similarities that appear can indicate a genetic adaptation to a particular environment, between them.

Explanation:

The evolution of the spice indicates that there were changes in the environment where these plants were able to adapt genetically, and not only that but they transmitted it in their generations, that is why many manifest the same genetic code, if this gene was inherited among them it means that the species EVOLVED.

Otherwise, those genes that generate benefits for the plants but are not transmitted in the parent plants will not be considered as an evolutionary change of the species but individual of the plant.

The genetic changes produced by modifications in the environment translate into phenotypic changes, thus generating a more suitable species with a greater chance of survival.
