Answer:
Letter E - exons are cut from the strand and removed

Explanation:

Letter A and B are incorrect because the poly-A tail and guanine cap are added to the 3’ and 5’ end respectively. They aid in translation of the mRNA, while serving as protection. The poly-A tail is repeated adenine nucleotides, while the guanine cap is a modified guanine nucleotide.

Letter C is incorrect because alternative splicing is one mechanism for generating variation, and is thought to be one of the reasons for why humans have smaller genomes than other organisms and still maintain high complexity. Alternative splicing is incredibly important because it produces more than one transcript from a pre-mRNA.

Letter D is incorrect because introns are the non coding portions of the mRNA. They are excised to make a smaller mRNA transcript, and one that contains all the protein genes.

This letter E is the correct answer, because exons are the coding portions of the mRNA, and are not excised during RNA processing.

Hope that helped! If I made a mistake, please let me know.

The scientists modified the genes that were turned on/off (expressed) in mice. What happened to the offspring of these mice?
daser333 [38]

The resulting mice will be induced with the changed gene either on or off. The offspring will have altered genes if both the alleles have the trait. This is a heritable change.

Explanation:

Making gene on or off is a process of gene regulation when one of the gene is methylated or histone modification to prevent access to transcription factors hence no expression of the protein. This process is called epigenetics.

The resulting progeny in mice will receive the allele of on or off the gene. Such genes with altered allele are also called as

The altered genes will be expressed in the resulting progeny of mice.

The epigenetic genes can be reverted with environmental effects in the offspring paramutable alleles. They are heritable.

Science and society are independent. However science cannot answer all of society's questions because science has
Effectus [21]
Science can only explain logical questions and provide answers to things that only can be scientifically proven. Things that are asked in society like religion can not be further explained. The reason why we have religion is because we have always believed in something in history. Either is was made up or concocted out of no where, humans have always believed in something. But what science can't explain is the miracles and things that have happened. Like Jesus, they can't prove that he performed miracles or was the Son of God. They can't prove he and his body ascended into heaven. Science can't explain that God is real. Yet the only thing you can do is believe in it, and trust the Bible accounts are accurately true.
