Answer:
Here is some background information...
Explanation:
Leeuwenhoek (1633-1723) used melted glass balls to form lenses for apparently crude simple microscopes that nevertheless magnified up to 275 times! Modern tests have concluded that he could have achieved a resolution of two micrometres.
Answer:
1 in 16
Explanation:
When two heterozygotes (AaBb x AaBb) for two autosomal genes are crossed the expected probability for the offspring is 9 A-B-, 3 A-bb, 3 aaB- and 1 aabb. In other words, out of sixteen offspring, 9 are expected to be dominant on both genes (either homozygous AA or BB or heterozygous Aa or Bb), 3 are expected to be dominant on the A gene but recessive on the b gene, 3 are expected to be recessive on the a gene but dominant on the A gene, and only 1 is expected to be recessive on both genes aabb.
The right answers are:
A-present in eukaryotic genomes ==> Both exons and introns
B-generally absent from bacterial genomes ==> Introns
C-part of the final mRNA strand ==> Exons
D-code for an amino acid sequence ==> Exons
E-removed from initial mRNA strand prior to translation ==> Introns
F-present in the DNA used as the template for transcription ==> Both exons and introns
In the genes of eukaryotic organisms, the exons are the segments of an RNA precursor that are conserved in the RNA after splicing and that are found in mature RNA in the cytoplasm. The segments of the RNA precursor that are removed during splicing are called in opposition to introns. Exons are mainly found in messenger RNAs (mRNAs) encoding proteins. Some mRNAs may sometimes undergo an alternative splicing process in which one or more exons may be excised or some introns preserved in rare cases.
