What is alternative splicing?

Biology
1 answer:
cluponka [151]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: B) mRNA processing events that lead to different types of exons being spliced together

Explanation:

When DNA is transcribed into mRNA, a primary RNA or pre-mRNA transcript is obtained that includes introns and  exons. For this pre-mRNA to give way to an mRNA it must undergo a maturation process of the mRNA, which

is basically to eliminate all introns primary transcript and then binding exons.

So RNA splicing is a post-transcriptional process of maturing RNA from which certain sequential fragments are removed. This process is very common in eukaryotes, and can occur in any type of RNA, although it is more common in mRNA.

Removal of introns and binding of exons in the mRNA occurs before leaving the nucleus. This process is known as splicing. <u>The alternative splicing of identical RNA transcripts into different cell types can produce different molecules of mature mRNA that are translated into different polypeptides.</u>

What is the importance of neutral variation in evolution?
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

A trait that is neutral in one environment may be advantageous in another.

Explanation:

Neutral variation refers to the variation (either genetic or phenotypic variation) which is unaffected by natural selection. Neutral variation is known to increase genetic variation, which is a prerequisite to evolutionary change. An allele may be neutral in one environment and beneficial (or deleterious) in another. In consequence, neutral variation in one environment may increase the response to selection in different environmental conditions.

Why would the extinction of other species negatively affect human society?
MrRissso [65]
 Extinction of other species will negatively affect human society by  affecting multiple things. One thing that may happen is that the ecosystem will fail, and it will eventually become a bare wasteland,n destroying possible recources for humans. As well, if humans have a direct use for them, such as cows for milk, or pics for bacon and ham, those direct recourses will deplete humans recourses, and there may be riots, or the population dwindling because of a lack of recourses. as well, some helpful animals such as plants go extinct, then no oxygen will be exchanged through photosynthesis, and it would cause a lot of pollution,

Think about water and how it rolls up on the beach. Think of all the qualities. Is it alive according to the characteristics of
topjm [15]
No it’s not alive it just has adhesion as a property. It doesn’t have cells that make it living, and it doesn’t make or eat food to survive. And the force from the waves make it roll up on the beach, not because it’s alive.
