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.

What does it mean when we say that dna replication is semiconservative
Pavlova-9 [17]
DNA replication is semiconservative in the sense that is uses one old strand to create a new strand.

Thus, it conserves a strand to create a new item in a sense.

Hope this helps!

How does a slow moving front differ from a fast moving front?
sashaice [31]
Fast-moving cold fronts force the warm air ahead of them to rise more quickly than slow movers. The clouds and rain are mostly along the front or ahead of it, and heavy rain or thunderstorms are common. A slow-moving front lifts the warm air more gradually; the rain is less intense, and the clouds form along and *behind* the surface cold front.
