What do you think would happen if a genetic mutation caused a person's digestive tract to have stratified columnar epithelium in

stead of simple columnar epithelium?

Answer:

Absorption and secretion would be impossible within the digestive tract.

Explanation:

Epithelium is one of the tissues found in humans. It is classified as either simple or stratified depending on the number of cell layers. Simple epithelial tissues have one layer of cells while stratified have many layers of cells. Based on the shape, epithelial tissues can either be squamous, columnar or cuboidal.

Due to the single-layer of the simple epithelial tissues, they line the walls of secretory or absorptive organs e.g organs of digestive tract. The stratified epithelium is majorly for protective function due to the number of cell layers it possess and not a good type of epithelium for locations where absorption and secretion of substances is common e.g digestive tract.

Hence, if a genetic mutation causes a person's digestive tract to have stratified columnar epithelium instead of simple columnar epithelium, ABSORPTION AND SECRETION of chemical substances, which is a key feature of organs (stomach, intestine) that make up digestive tracts, will be impossible.

Does mRNA model more closely resemble the DNA strand from which it was transcribed?
Bond [772]

Answer: No, mRNA ( messenger RNA) model does not closely resemble the DNA strand from which it is transcribed.

This is because mRNA strand is complementary to the strand of DNA template that is used in its synthesis during the process called transcription. The polarity of DNA template is 3' to 5' whereas that of mRNA transcribed is 5' to 3' that is both the strands have antiparallel polarity.

This is the reason template DNA is referred antisense. mRNA strand more closely resembles the sense strand ( which is complementary strand of DNA template in a double helix).
