Answer:

The correct answer is a. Exon/intron boundaries are typically characterized by a 5' GU splice junction and a 3' AG splice junction.

Explanation:

Splicing is the process in which the non-coding introns are removed from the mRNA and only coding sequences remains in mRNA.  

The splicing of introns depends on the recognition of splice site pair. Usually, 5'-GU-3' is 5' splice site and 5'-AG-3' is 3' splice site which makes the boundary of introns/exons and these two nucleotides are important to recognize the introns.

There are some additional conserved sequence at these two splice site which help in recognition of introns. First, a lariate structure is formed when 5'-GU-3' is cleaved and joined to the branch point that is present near 3' slice site. Then 3' splice site is cleaved which releases the intron. Therefore the correct answer is a.

AlladinOne [14]

Answer: The statement is false

Explanation:

Addition of concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to a beaker full of water (H2O) will release heat energy to the containing vessel due to the breakage of strong ionic bond present in the acid.

Thus, it is an evidence of a EXERGONIC REACTION (since energy is released spontaneously). So, the statement is false

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

       The right answer to this question is option D. Convergent evolution.

Explanation:

       Convergent evolution is a process defined by when an organism develops the same, or at least near that, characteristics, for a specific reason, but they don't have the same origin. In this case, the cacti in both deserts have pretty much the same characteristics, and this happens because both these plants need water to survive, and in order to save it, they have barrel-shaped stems, short-lived leaves, and spines. All of these things help them in saving the water and capturing it when it's possible.

        The convergent evolution is when both these organisms develop equally, but are not originally from the same place, the environment being the one to shape this.
