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.

which antifungal drug acts by inhibiting biosynthesis of essential components of the fungal cell wall, which interferes with gro
dimaraw [331]

Micafungin is one of the antifungal drugs that act by inhibiting the biosynthesis of essential components of the fungal cell wall, which interferes with growth and reproduction.

A compound from the newly discovered class of antifungal drugs called echinocandins that prevent the synthesis of cell walls. Echinocandins prevent the production of 1,3-D-glucan, a crucial element of the fungal cell wall that is absent in mammalian cells. Micafungin injections are used to aid the body in fighting off serious fungus infections like candidemia, acute disseminated candidiasis, candida peritonitis and abscess without meningoencephalitis or ocular dissemination, and esophageal candidiasis.

Several different fungal infections are treated with this medicine. Patients receiving stem cell transplants can also use it to avoid developing fungal infections. Echinocandins are the group of medications that micafungin is a member of. Drugs that contain an antifungal ingredient help treat fungi. They have the ability to stop fungi from growing and flourishing or to directly kill them.

Surface tension is often described as “skin” on the surface of water. Why is it described this way?
Elan Coil [88]
Because it creates the same amount of tension for small animals as skin would. That is why some small animals can be on water without sinking. That is surface tension.

What angle is formed by the median sagittal plane and the IR in the parieto-orbital projection (Rhese method) of the optic canal
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

53°.

Explanation:

Rhese method can be used to identigy the orbital projectioons of the organism. The median sagittal plane are specified at the particular angles to obtained the projections.

IR in parieto-orbital projection and  median sagittal plane by the rhese method forms the angle of 53° in the projections. These projections are important for the medical diagnosis of individual.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
