How does alternative rna splicing affect gene expression?

Biology
1 answer:
Elis [28]3 years ago
6 0
RNA splicing was first discovered in 1970s in viruses and subsequently in eukaryotes.  Not long after, scientists discovered alternative patterns of pre-mRNA splicing that produced different mature mRNAs containing various combinations of exons from a single precursor mRNA. The first example of alternative splicing of a cellular gene in eukaryotes was identified in the IgM gene, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Alternative splicing (AS) therefore is a process by which exons or portions of exons or noncoding regions within a pre-mRNA transcript are differentially joined or skipped, resulting in multiple protein isoforms being encoded by a single gene. This mechanism increases the informational diversity and functional capacity of a gene during post-transcriptional processing and provides an opportunity for gene regulation

Polymerization and the break down of a polymer are two opposite reactions. What role does a water molecule play in both of them?
ladessa [460]
<span>In the process of polymerization, a chain of similar smaller molecules called monomer join together to create very large molecules called polymer. Through this chemical reaction, water is created as a by-product. In contrast to hydrolysis or breaking down of polymers, a water molecule is used to break the covalent bond that hold the components of a polymer.</span>

An explanation of convection
dybincka [34]
Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in the transfer of heat.

What are some ways to prevent wind erosion in a dry, sandy area
Kitty [74]
Preventing wind erosion in a dry, sandy area is feasible through any of the following land-use practices:

a. Tillage - creates soil roughness by making furrows and ridges that are perpendicular to the direction of the wind. 
b. Crop rotation - rotations of legumes followed by shrubs followed by trees then back to legumes work best.
c. Intercropping - is the most widely used particularly in countries with desert areas. One of the most popularly used is oasis agriculture that makes use of about 3 layers of vegetation.
