The majority of DNA is made of introns, which don't code for proteins or RNA. Eukaryotic cells comprise of a bigger number of introns than prokaryotic cells. They appear as redundant DNA. 
Straightforward grouping DNA comprises of short, rehashed successions. They have less than fifteen nucleotides, yet it can be rehashed the same number of times as it needs. This makes up three percent of the human genome. Situated at the chromosomal telomeres and centromeres, it most likely has an influence in DNA and chromosomes

<span>A section of DNA that is not expressed in the gene product is called intron. The final messenger RNA molecule is called exon. Eukaryotic cells have the enzyme to cut off the intron section to produce a continuous strand of mRNA so that protein synthesis can occur. Prokaryotic cells can express the information to produce protein directly as the mRNA does not contain intron. </span>

How is nitrogen metabolism in the prokaryotes vital to other organisms? given the roles of bacteria in the nitrogen cycle, how w
Murljashka [212]
Metabolizing nitrogen in prokaryotes is very important to other organisms since these prokaryotes are able to convert ammonium in the soil to nitrate and, then, the denitrifying bacteria could use the nitrate produced instead of using oxygen in their metabolism in order to release nitrogen molecules. by the denitrification process, thus completing the nitrogen cycle. Without the nitrogen metabolism in prokaryotes, the nitrogen in the atmosphere could not be used or utilized to synthesize essential organic compounds that are needed by other organisms. It is only the prokaryotes that has the ability fixing nitrogen or can do the process of nitrogen fixation.

The body determines whether certain genes should be expressed or not. Sometimes genes are only turned on once or twice in a life
zmey [24]

The gene which is produced once or twice in a lifetime is the milk producing hormone after childbirth. This is because it is produced only after the birth of the child. The growth of the mammary glands takes place during pregnancy. The breast continue to increase in size after giving birth to a child. After delivery only copious milk is produced which is generally done with the help of milk hormone. During pregnancy the secretion of the milk is inhibited by the estrogen and progesterone which circulates in the blood stream which in turn inhibits the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland thus making the mammary glands unresponsive. Where as insulin is a hormone which helps the body to utilise the sugar or glucose from different sources like carbohydrates that we get while we eat food and adrenaline is secreted when we are scared or when we feel that we are in danger. Therefore, milk producing hormone is the gene that are turned once or twice in a lifetime.
