Determine whether the following statement is true or false: Because introns are largely genetic junk, they do not need to be rem

oved with any degree of precision during RNA splicing.
Biology
1 answer:
uysha [10]3 years ago

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Introns need to be removed precisely because the reading frame will be shifted if removed even single nucleotide too many or leaving an intronic nucleotide in the spliced mRNA .

Extra amino acids will be inserted if large pieces of introns are left in the mature messenger RNA.

In both cases, aberrant protien will be produced if the RNA splicing is not precise, hence they are needed to be removed by precision.

A change in the temperature of the core would affect all of the following except:
Pani-rosa [81]
Answer is D: the current make up of the crust

Changes in the temperature of the Earth's core will do the following:
1. Cause the outer core to solidify 
-this means that the liquid outer core which is responsible for generating the magnetic field protecting us humans from solar radiation will be gone

2. Cause the mantle to solidify
-this means that if the mantle solidifies, the plate tectonics will stop moving around, and if this happens, the earthquakes and volcanoes will not be produced anymore and also mountain ranges will not be renewed, and the earth will be flattened by erosion.

Relationship between activation energy and rate of reaction
Stolb23 [73]

The activation energy of a chemical reaction is closely related to its rate. Specifically, the higher the activation energy, the slower the chemical reaction will be. This is because molecules can only complete the reaction once they have reached the top of the activation energy barrier.
