Answer:

The cells change after being exposed to the chemical, and this change is passed to the next generation of cells.

Explanation:

A mutation is any change, whether big or small, that occurs to the nucleotide sequence of a gene in a cell as caused by mistake during replication or induced by a mutation causing substance. These mutation-causing substances are called MUTAGEN.

A MUTAGEN is any substance that causes genetic mutation in an organism's cell. These changes in the nucleotide sequence can affect one or more phenotypic characteristics of the affected organism, which is also passed to offsprings because it is a genetic change.

Hence, a plant cell exposed to this mutagen will be induced to mutate.

Hence, the cells changing after being exposed to the chemical, which is also passed to the next generation of cells best provides explanation that the chemical is a MUTAGEN.

What would happen if introns were not removed during RNA processing?
Savatey [412]

Answer:

The protein would be incorrect and the protein might not function.

Explanation:

We know that introns carry information but introns not only carry information to build a protein. They have to be removed for the mRNA to encode a protein with the right protein sequence.

If the spliceosome fails to remove an intron, an mRNA with extra "junk" will be created in it. As a result, a wrong protein will be created during translation.

If a wrong protein sequence is created, it will hamper the whole translation process. The protein won't function properly.
