In eukaryotes, how can a single gene code for several different proteins?

Biology
1 answer:
NikAS [45]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Gene splicing is a post-transcriptional modification in which a single gene can code for multiple proteins. Gene Splicing is done in eukaryotes, prior to mRNA translation, by the differential inclusion or exclusion of regions of pre-mRNA. Gene splicing is an important source of protein diversity.

padilas [110]

Answer and Explanation:

Land - Lion

Water - Sealion

Flies - Bees

Lions have strong retractable jaws that help them eat their prey and that way they adapt to their enviroment.

The Sealion's thick, oily fur and a layer of blubber allow them to keep a high temperature in cold waters.  

A Bees body carries an electrostatic charge that attracts pollen and that way they can keep it in them.

Hope this Helps! Have a GREAT day!

What is the majors metabolic wastes of our body​
Olin [163]

Answer:

They are ammonia, urea, uric acid, and creatinine. All of these substances are produced from protein metabolism.

Metabolic waste is the left over products of both catabolism and anabolism. This waste includes salts, phosphates, sulfates, excess substances, and nitrogenous wastes like urea which are eliminated through urine.

Histamine is a chemical substance released in inflammatory and allergic responses. The histamine H1 receptor on target cells is
grin007 [14]

Answer:

-Histamine binds extracellularly to the H1 receptor.

-When histamine binds to the H1 receptor. the receptor undergoes a conformation change and binds the inactive G protein.

-Once the G protein is active, it binds to the enzyme phospholipase C, activating it.

-Histamine is likely hydrophilic.

When histamine encounters a target cell, it binds extracellularly to the H1 receptor, causing a change in the shape of the receptor. This change in shape allows the G protein to bind to the H1 receptor, causing a GTP molecule to displace a GDP molecule and activating the G protein. The active G protein dissociates from the H1 receptor and binds to the enzyme phospholipase C, activating it. The active phospholipase C triggers a cellular response. The G protein then functions as a GTPase and hydrolyzes the GTP to GDP. The G protein dissociates from the enzyme and is inactive again and ready for reuse.

Which describes the four cells that are produced at the end of meiosis? identical haploid cells genetically different diploid ce
algol13

Answer:In many ways, meiosis is a lot like mitosis. The cell goes through similar stages and uses similar strategies to organize and separate chromosomes. In meiosis, however, the cell has a more complex task. It still needs to separate sister chromatids (the two halves of a duplicated chromosome), as in mitosis. But it must also separate homologous chromosomes, the similar but nonidentical chromosome pairs an organism receives from its two parents.

Explanation:Mitosis(Opens in a new window)(Opens in a new window) is used for almost all of your body’s cell division needs. It adds new cells during development and replaces old and worn-out cells throughout your life. The goal of mitosis is to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to their mothers, with not a single chromosome more or less.

Meiosis, on the other hand, is used for just one purpose in the human body: the production of gametes—sex cells, or sperm and eggs. Its goal is to make daughter cells with exactly half as many chromosomes as the starting cell.

To put that another way, meiosis in humans is a division process that takes us from a diploid cell—one with two sets of chromosomes—to haploid cells—ones with a single set of chromosomes. In humans, the haploid cells made in meiosis are sperm and eggs. When a sperm and an egg join in fertilization, the two haploid sets of chromosomes form a complete diploid set: a new genome.
