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.

Which cell process occurs only in organisms that reproduce sexually
Levart [38]

Answer:

MEIOSIS is that cell process that only occurs in organisms that reproduce sexually.

Explanation:

Eukaryotic organisms are the type of organisms that have have  nucleus and other membrane bound organelles. In complex eukaryotic organisms, sexual reproduction takes place. Through the process of meiosis, the production of gamete or reproductive cells i.e the sperm or egg takes place.

Meiosis produces four daughter cell from a single parent cell. each of the daughter cell is haploid. haploid means containing half the number of the chromosomes as the original parent cell.

How is the movement of leaves of the sensitive plant different from the movement of a shoot towards.
Allushta [10]

The movement of leaves of sensitive plants is known as a nastic movement, while the movement of a shoot towards light is known as phototropism.

<h3>What is a Nastic movement?</h3>

A nastic movement may be defined as a type of movement or response of numerous parts of the plants that are significantly independent of the direction of the external stimulus.

The movement of leaves of the sensitive plants is independent with respect to the direction of the external stimulus and thus is known as a nastic movement.

While the movement of a shoot towards light is known as a tropic movement. This type of movement significantly depends on the direction of external stimuli like the direction of light. And hence is known as phototropism.

Therefore, it is the major difference in the movement of leaves of the sensitive plant with respect to the movement of a shoot towards the light.

What do we call the position of an organism in a food chain or food web?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Producers

Explanation:

A food web is all of the food chains in an ecosystem. Each organism in an ecosystem occupies a specific trophic level or position in the food chain or web. Producers, who make their own food using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, make up the bottom of the trophic pyramid.
