Answer:

In eukaryotes, it is well known that polyadenylation is required to produce the mature messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule and it provides stability to the mRNA during translation initiation. In prokaryotic organisms, polyadenylation is required for the degradation of the mRNA in a mechanism that involves three steps: endonucleolytic cleavage, polyadenylation and exonucleolytic degradation. Moreover, it is also important to note that no evidence of polyadenylation has bee reported in some prokaryotes including the halophilic bacteria Haloferax volcanic (Slomovic et al. 2005).

Which of the following best describes an advantage of cloning?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The correct answer would be "Can prevent genetic diseases".

Cloning refers to the process of making an identical copy of organism, cell or DNA fragments.

One of the applications of cloning is eradication or prevention of genetic diseases.

It is done by isolating the correct or functional gene and make copies of it in in-vitro conditions.

The gene or DNA fragment is then inserted back into the cell.

With advancement in cloning process and understanding of stem cells, cloning process also favors tissues and organ harvesting which also help in reducing diseases.
