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.

Hello There!

As well as the obvious negatives of volcanic eruptions, there are benefits too.
Volcanic eruptions can make the land very fertile.
Also, the lava contains many good minerals.
This makes it an ideal space for farming.

Hope This Helps You!

In order for high force crossbridges to form in contracting skeletal muscle, calcium must a. bind to calmodulin to phosphorylate
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

e. bind to troponin which moves the tropomyosin.

Explanation:

Troponin (Tn) is a protein complex composed of three different proteins: troponin C (TnC), troponin I (TnI), and troponin T (TnT). This complex is found both in skeletal muscles and cardiac muscles, where TnC attaches calcium ions through four and three calcium ion-binding sites, respectively. When a muscle is relaxed, Tn attaches to tropomyosin to prevent muscle contraction. During muscle contraction, calcium channels open and cytosolic calcium ions bind to TnC, thereby Tn changes its conformation and moves the tropomyosin. This process relieves the inhibition of the interaction between actin and myosin filaments, which makes muscle contraction possible.

Which two characteristics of living things do viruses exhibit?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Viruses exhibit two out of above mentioned which are

1. They contain genetic information

2. They reproduce

Explanation:

Viruses can be classified as either living or non living organisms

They can be classified as living organisms because of the following reasons

1. They can mutate

2. They can grow

3. They evolve to adapt to their hosts

4. They are capable of multiplication in their host cells

5. They are made up of proteins and glycoproteins like cells do

6. They have genetic information which helps them to produce more viruses in the form of either RNA or DNA.

They can also be classified as non living organisms because

1. They can not exist outside their host cell

2. They do not carry out metabolism, they make use of their host mechanisms

1. Which feature is found in prokaryotic cells but not in eukaryotic cells?
crimeas [40]
The <span>eukaryotic cells do not contain any organelles such a nucleus in particular. The difference in their structures for prokaryotes and eukaryotes will also include the presence of chloroplasts and mitochondria. Also, structures such as cell wall and chromosomal DNA structures are also some of the difference in the two types of cells. The answer to the second question is C.
