What would happen if a cell transcribed and translated a gene’s intron by mistake?

wariber [46]3 years ago

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.

How do organisms affect the environment
Crank

<u>Answer:</u>

Nature consists of both the organism and the environment. The relationship between them are intertwined. Organisms are mainly divided into three

a) The producers

b) The consumers

c) Decomposers

These three organisms are interlinked with each other. Without them there is no existence of the environment. The producers produce the food, the consumers consume them and the decomposers decompose and release it in the form of energy. In each cycle energy is released and absorbed. The balance in the environment is maintained by the food pyramid.

Which of the following processes involves the chloroplast?a. cell divisionb. conversion of light energy to chemical energyc. for
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

\boxed{\tt B. \ Conversion\  of\ light \ energy \ to \ chemical \ energy}

Explanation:

This question asks us which process involves the chloroplast.

In plants, algae, and some bacteria, a process called <u>photosynthesis</u> occurs. This process takes place in the <em>chloroplasts. </em>In the process, the organism takes light energy from the sun, carbon dioxide, and water, and turns it into glucose and oxygen.

The glucose that is made becomes the food and energy for the organism. In another process, called cellular respiration, the sugar is turned into ATP, a kind of useable energy.  

The best answer choice is B. Conversion of light energy to chemical energy. The chloroplasts convert light energy to sugar, and the sugar becomes chemical energy.
