A geneticist isolates a gene for a specific trait under study She also isolates the corresponding mRNA Upon comparison, the mRNA

is found to contain 1,000 fewer bases than the DNA sequence. Did the geneticist isolate the wrong DNA? A) yes, mRNA is made from a DNA template and should be the same length as the gene sequence B) yes, the mRNA should contain more bases than the DNA sequence because bases flanking the gene are also C) no, the final mRNA contains only exons, the introns were D) no, the mRNA was partially degraded after it was removed

Answer:

C) no, the final mRNA contains only exons, the introns were removed

Explanation:

Exons are the coding areas while the introns are non-coding areas. Both of these are the sequences of nucleotide within a gene.

RNA splicing is a process which usually occurs as the RNA matures, causing the removal of introns ( non coding areas of the RNA ) i-e they will not be expressed in the final messenger RNA, while exons continue to form covalent bonds with one another to form a  mature mRNA.

So in the given scenario, Upon comparison, the mRNA is found to contain 1,000 fewer bases than the DNA sequence because the introns were removed by RNA splicing.

Hence option C) no, the final mRNA contains only exons, the introns were removed is correct.

Related to episode 3: which of mary's affected cranial nerves is responsible for her double vision when looking right? why does
mixas84 [53]
<span>In Mary's case, the abducens is affected/ The abducens is a motor neuron that is responsible for innervating the lateral rectus muscle, this helps the pull the eye in a lateral direction. In Mary's case, only the right branch of this is affected so when she looks right the eye is simply not able to rotate laterally and she has double vision. The medial rectus muscle that is found in the right eye is responsible for pulling the eye so that she can look left. The oculomotor nerve is in charge of innervating this particular muscle and when it comes to mary's case, her cranial nerve III is not affected.</span>
