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

Biology

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.

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The correct answer is c) The first statement is true; the second is false.

Explanation:

To be able to perform its role, a hormone must bind a specific receptor in its target cell. The receptor can be located inside the cell (in cytosol) or in the surface of the cell (transmembrane receptor). By regulating the expression of the receptor, the target cell regulates the hormonal activity.

The number of hormone receptors in a cell is not constant, it can vary depending on sereral factors, such as the age of the organisms, the effect of several drugs, mutations or diseases.

The genetic information of a prokaryotic cell may best be described as:
Inga [223]

Answer:

2. Circular, looped, folded, single stranded DNA known as the bacterial chromosome

Explanation:

The bacterial chromosome of a prokaryotic cell, does not occur in the typical X chromosome found in eukaryotic cells, but it is a long folded and looped molecule composed of double-stranded supercoiled DNA. In this case, DNA occurs freely and covalently closed in a circular shape in the cytoplasm and it does not bind with proteins.
