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.

antiseptic1488 [7]

New media, smaller equipment, and instant sharing, are all part of the new environmentalist tools for visual documentation.

<h3>What is Visual documentation?</h3>

This is defined as the process in which knowledge or information is managed and organized in a visual manner.

This however employs the use of equipment such as projectors and internet sharing devices to ensure that the information is disseminated to a large number of people.

Evgesh-ka [11]
<span>The question is asking us to fill in the gaps in the following sentence: When a person loses consciousness due to a head injury from a car crash, the (gap) keeps the body functioning by regulating the flow of information between the brain and the rest of the body. The best answer is that the gap should be filled by "autonomous nervous system" - this system is the one that is not controlled consciously, but one that is working in the background to make sure our body functions work properly.</span>
