Answer:
In normal conditions, introns serve following functions in the body of an organism:
1) They contain genes of miRNA which are known as Mirtrons, reverse transcriptase, endonucleases, transposase etc.
2) It is because of presence of introns that alternative splicing of mRNA is possible. The sex determination in drosophila is based on alternative splicing.
Apart from this, alternative splicing can be useful and beneficial in an unforeseen situation such as an environmental problem which is faced by the organism for the first time.
Explanation:
Alternative splicing is an important mechanism because with the help of alternative splicing different type of proteins can be synthesized from the same pre mRNA transcript. In case suddenly the surrounding environment of an organism is changed and the environmental conditions have become extremely harsh due to which organism's life is at stake, in such situation organism may make a different type of protein through alternative splicing which can help the organism in survival.
Default splicing in Drosophila leads to the development of male off-spring while female off-spring is produced as a result of alternative splicing.
i believe the answer is A.) Tadpole
Similarities:
They contain nematocyst (cells that sting)
some are sessil/free swimming
Some corals have a symbiotic relationship with algae, they need to grow in shallow waters so that light can penetrate for the algae to photosynthesize.
Apoptosis is programmed cell death. The body is this to get rid of unneeded or abnormal. The body will get rid of cells with damaged DNA before they can become cancerous.
