Introns are deleted before a gene is transcribed from DNA to mRNA?

GaryK [48]3 years ago

Introns are deleted before a gene is transcribed from DNA to RNA because introns are non coding regions between exons their presence will interrupt the translation process.

Explanation:

Introns are the non coding regions on mRNA that are transcribed from a sequence of DNA. The introns are deleted by  RNA splicing and only exons are coded so that correct protein is formed otherwise introns would get coded along and wrong protein will be formed. Introns are present in eukaryotic cell.

Introns play a very important role in controlling gene expression. Multiple variant of a particular protein is controlled by introns. An error during splicing would cause a different protein to be code.

Introns are important because all the cells in eukaryotes have same group of genes and to prevent them in getting expressed in all the cells where they are not required.

In maize, a dominant allele A is necessary for seed color, as opposed to colorless (a). Another gene has a recessive allele wx t
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

  • 1/2 Aa Wx wx (colored seeds, normal starch)
  • 1/2 aa Wx wx (colorless seed, normal starch).

Explanation:

  • A (colored seed) is dominant over a (colorless)
  • Wx (normal starch) is dominant over wx (waxy)

Both loci are independent.

A <em>Aa WxWx </em>individual was test crossed (crossed with a homozygous recessive <em>aa wxwx</em> individual).

  • The homozygous recessive can only produce <em>a wx </em>gametes.
  • The dihybrid individual can produce two types of gametes, all of them with the same frequency because the genes segregate independently: 1/2 <em>A Wx </em>and 1/2<em> a Wx </em>

<u>The possible offspring resulting from the combination of those gametes is:</u>

  • 1/2 Aa Wx wx (colored seeds, normal starch)
  • 1/2 aa Wx wx (colorless seed, normal starch).

Answer:

. A DNA molecule in a human chromosome can be up to 250 million nucleotide-pairs long; in contrast, most RNAs are no more than a few thousand nucleotides long, and many are considerably shorter.
