An intron is a non-coding region of DNA. During alternative splicing, introns are removed.

  • During eukaryotic transcription, a fragment of DNA (e.g., a gene) is used as a template to synthesize a complementary RNA sequence, usually a precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA).

  • Subsequently, this pre-mRNA is processed by a mechanism called alternative splicing in order to produce a mature mRNA which is then used as template to synthesize a protein by a process called translation.

  • During alternative splicing, non-coding regions of a gene called 'introns' are removed, where coding regions called 'exons' are spliced back together.

  • If a cell transcribed and translated a gene’s intron by mistake, then additional amino acids would be inserted into the protein and therefore the resulting protein will be longer than normal.

In the initial days of pregnancy, a woman often feels no symptoms at all. Women with ectopic pregnancies often
tatiyna

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

The initial days and even weeks of pregnancy may happen without a woman being aware of the pregnancy. Even though the baby grows quickly, it starts out as just a fertilized egg. So it takes a while to be noticed. And there is plenty of room at first.

But with an ectopic pregnancy, the baby attaches, instead of in the uterus, outside of the uterus. In most cases, the baby attaches inside the fallopian tube. Outside of the uterus is not designed to provide support and space for the baby. As growth occurs, it can cause severe problems. This is dangerous and can cause bleeding, pain, and possibly shock of the woman's condition is not identified and treated.  

Hope this helps! Have an awesome day!! :-)
