Farmers should discontinue the use of Bt corn (genetically modified maize)as their negative affects on the health of the consumers have not been fully over ruled by the recent research. In my opinion, genetically modified crops, although, are resistant to various pests, should not be encouraged because of the toxic chemical contents used during their production. There's a strong likelihood of these toxic chemicals entering our food chain and also being harmful to other naturally growing plants, hence there's a need for more research before this idea is pursued.
Answer: Yes. Splicing can be done in different ways to yield different mRNAs wich will create different proteins. Prokaryotes are not able to do this.
Explanation:
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a molecule that contains the genetic information for synthesizing amino acids that form proteins. To do this, DNA must first be transcribed into RNA (ribonucleic acid) and this is the molecule used for protein synthesis (translation). The newly transcribed RNA (called primary messenger RNA) from DNA results in a very long molecule and also has regions that do not code for anything, called introns, which are removed by a process called splicing. Exons are segments in the RNA that do code for amino acids and remain in the mature mRNA after splicing.
<u>Splicing is a process by which introns are cleaved from the primary messenger RNA and exons are joined to generate mature messenger RNA.</u> In addition, alternative splicing occurs which allows different mRNA isoforms and thus different proteins to be obtained from a primary mRNA transcript. This is because the exons will be joined or spliced in different ways, giving rise to different mature messenger RNA sequences. This process occurs mainly in eukaryotes, although it can also be observed in viruses. But it does not take place in Prokaryotes (Bacteria).
In summary, exons/introns can be spliced together in different ways to yield different mRNAs sequences. Each different mRNA sequence will code for a different protein.

Not to sure tho hope this helps
There are choices for this question namely:
<span>A) B cells produce IgE antibodies
B) B cells release cytokines
C) cytotoxic T cells present the class II MHC molecule-antigen complex on their surface
D) helper T cells release cytokines
The correct answer is "helper T cells release cytokines". Cytokines are released by helper T cells when B cells attach to them via receptors. These T cells "help" these B cells to differentiate by secreting certain cytokines. When B cells differentiate, they are converted to plasma cells and able to secrete antibodies to the antigen presented to the T cells. </span>
