Gnesinka [82]2 years ago
4 0

The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences) is translated into proteins (amino acid sequences) by living cells. Those genes that code for proteins are composed of tri-nucleotide units called codons, each coding for a single amino acid.

The size of the iris and pupil can change size. If you walked from a bright room into a dark room, what would happen to the size
prisoha [69]

The correct answer is B. The iris would get smaller, the pupil would get bigger.

Explanation

The iris is the name by which the colored part of the eye is known, it is located between the cornea and the lens. In the central part of the iris, there is a round opening known as the pupil. The relationship between these two parts of the eye is very important to sight because between them they control the amount of light that enters the eye. This occurs when the eye is exposed to a high amount of light, the iris muscles make the pupil smaller and the iris larger, limiting light entry into the eye. When the eye is exposed to low amounts of light or darkness, the iris becomes smaller and the pupil enlarges, allowing more light to enter. According to the above, the correct answer is B. the iris would get smaller, the pupil would get bigger. Because it describes the behavior of the iris and the pupil when going from a bright room to a dark room.

Two different mature mRNA transcripts are produced from this gene, one is approximately 2000 nucleotides long, the other is appr
klemol [59]

Answer:

Alternative splicing explains how it works

Explanation:

Two different transcripts can be produced from one single gene according to the nature of exons and introns of every transcript, which means that a group of exons will form the future mRNA molecule. The nature of this phenomenon is based on the function and local that every transcript will act. These mRNA transcripts are the result of how the RNA polymerase and transcription factors interacts with DNA molecule and therefore selects the number and the size of the exons and introns of each mature mRNA transcript.
