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.

If the food on the island is small seeds, what finch is best adapted? Explain why
jeka57 [31]

Answer:Adaptation in Darwins Finches. Beak depth, which is correlated with body size and the ability to crack larger seeds, varies according to drought conditions: plants produce fewer, harder seeds in dry years and more, softer seeds in wet years. Only larger birds with deeper depths survive in drought years.

Answer:

De la glándula pitnitaria se encuentran las hormonas llamadas dopomina, que es impulsada por los hipodtalamas, la parte del cerebro directamente sobre la glándula pituitaria. La dopapamina restringe la proyección, por lo que cuanto más dopomilo haya, menos liberación se produce
