Answer:
C. a string of nucleotides that can be used as a template to produce a RNA that codes for a protein.
Explanation:
A gene is a specific sequence of DNA containing genetic information required to make a specific protien and is a string of nucleotides (DNA in cells) that can be used as a template to produce a RNA (by transcription) that codes for a protein. The produced RNA might be the end product (for example some transfer RNA's) or might be further translated into a protein. An organism's entire complement of DNA is its genome.
Answer:
Option (c).
Explanation:
Transcription may be defined as the process of formation of RNA molecule from the template DNA with the help of enzymes and transcription factors. The transcription occurs in 5' to 3' direction.
Post trancriptional modification occurs in the RNA molecule that plays an important role in transcription as well as translation. The introns are removed from the RNA transcript and exons joined together is known as splicing. The alternative splicing occurs in which different protein isoforms are formed by the single exons.
Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
Limiting factors for snakes can include frogs, grasshoppers, farmers, pesticides, weather, climate, the environment, and various other abiotic and biotic factors.
Those specified however were also specified within the prompt. These are limiting factors because they can limit or help excel the snake population growth, yet in this prompt it is shown to greatly diminish the growth.
Hope this helps!
