Answer:
Mitosis is when a diploid cell becomes 2 haploid cells with single chromosomes
Explanation:
RNA splicing was first discovered in 1970s in viruses and subsequently in eukaryotes. Not long after, scientists discovered alternative patterns of pre-mRNA splicing that produced different mature mRNAs containing various combinations of exons from a single precursor mRNA. The first example of alternative splicing of a cellular gene in eukaryotes was identified in the IgM gene, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Alternative splicing (AS) therefore is a process by which exons or portions of exons or noncoding regions within a pre-mRNA transcript are differentially joined or skipped, resulting in multiple protein isoforms being encoded by a single gene. This mechanism increases the informational diversity and functional capacity of a gene during post-transcriptional processing and provides an opportunity for gene regulation
Answer:
Movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration
Explanation:
- Diffusion can be defined as the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
- Diffusion is a special type of diffusion that involves movement of solute molecules from a region of a high concentration to a region of high concentration until equilibrium is achieved.
- Diffusion is a passive transport of particles, which means it does not involve use of energy in the form of ATP like the case of active transport.
