You are investigating a mutant eukaryotic cell line that makes all of its mRNAs much longer than the mRNAs from normal cells. In

trigued, you examine the proteins in these cells and note that many of them are either much longer or much shorter than the normal proteins from nonmutant cells. Assuming there is just one mutant defect in these cells, which of the possibilities is most likely?
A stop codon is mutated
The enzyme that adds the poly-A tail is defective.
RNA polymerase does not recognize the terminator sequence.
The spliceosome is nonfunctional.
The release factor is defective.

Answer:

The correct answer is that the spliceosome is non-functional.

Explanation:

A spliceosome refers to a composite and large molecular apparatus found mainly inside the nucleus of the eukaryotic cells. The prime function of the spliceosome is to remove the introns from a transcribed pre-mRNA, that is, a kind of primary transcript.  

In case if the spliceosome machinery gets failed to function, the mRNA will not remove the introns, that is, the non-coding parts and retains it. This will eventually lead to the formation of longer mRNAs.

Explain how the lack of genetic diversity found in populations of endangered species might hinder their recovery
Lelu [443]

Hi

The term lack of genetic diversity for a particular population refers to the fact that there are less number of alleles and less range of phenotypes and traits like (height, skin, color, ability to cope disease, ability to change metabolism as per requirement etc).

If we talk about endangered species, they are the specie which are prone to be extinct in near future because their population is very less in number. There can be multiple reason of becoming endangered for a population such as over hunting etc.

So when we say that an endangered population is genetically less diverse, it means that there are further difficulties that hinder their recovery.

For example: If a calamity stucks, all organisms that are already low in number and also genetically less diverse, so they cannot cope with calamity and get extinct. However, if this population is genetically more diverse, some organisms may survive some may die, and those which survive can recover the population. That is why it becomes more difficult to recover an endangered specie if it is genetically less diverse. The more the genetic diversity, better it is for specie.

Hope it help!
