Biology
1 answer:

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.

If the diameter of the afferent arterioles leading to the glomerulus increases (vasodilation) net filtration pressure will incre
Vinvika [58]

True. If the diameter of the afferent arterioles leading to the glomerulus increases due to vasodilation, which ultimately increases the net filtration pressure.

The filtration of blood occurs in the kidney, an excretory organ. The kidney is composed of numerous small units called nephrons, which is responsible for the blood filtration.

Glomerulus is part of nephron and the glomerular filtration occurs in the renal corpuscle of the kidney. This process is driven by hydrostatic and colloid osmotic pressure.

These pressures are collectively called net filtration pressure, which is influenced by the diameter of afferent arterioles.

If the arterioles constricts, net filtration pressure will decrease and if arterioles dilates, net filtration pressure will increase. This mechanism is regulated by neural, renal and hormonal regulation.

Transport proteins in the cell membrane play an important role in cell transport by
Kaylis [27]

Answer:    Membrane transport proteins are specific and selective for the molecules they move, and they often use energy to catalyze passage. Also, these proteins transport some nutrients against the concentration gradient, which requires additional energy.
