The first major step of gene expression and genetic splicing of exons occurs in this specific aqueous environment of the cell. _

ipn [44]

Answer:

Nucleus

Explanation:

Expressing a gene basically means manufacturing its corresponding protein. This process has two major steps:

In the transcription process, the information in DNA is transferred to a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. This first major step of gene expression and genetic splicing of exons occurs in nucleus environment of the cell.
During translation, which is the second major step, the mRNA is "read" according to the genetic code, which relates the DNA sequence to the amino acid sequence in proteins. Within all cells, the translation occurs within a specialized compartment called the ribosome.

Following a meal glucose must move from the gut lumen where there is a high glucose concentration into the intestinal cell where

Alchen [17]

This movement from a high concentration area to a low concentration are is called Active transport.

<h3>Active Transport</h3>

Active transport by definition is a process that is characterized by the movement of molecules against a concentration gradient. Additionally, this process requires energy.

As in the question above, glucose molecules have to be moved across the gut lumen of higher glucose concentration to the intestinal cells of relatively low level of glucose.
