During the early days of deciphering the human genome, scientists were surprised to find that the number of genes appeared to be

significantly fewer than what had been predicted on the basis of the estimated numbers of different proteins required by our cells. What aspect of nucleic acids and transcription can help explain this discrepancy?.

Given what we know, we can confirm that the aspect of nucleic acids and transcription that can help explain this discrepancy is that of alternative splicing.

<h3>Alternative Splicing.</h3>
  • This process allowed the cells to use a single gene for the creation of various proteins.
  • This process includes the separation of RNA at splicing sites to create new versions of the mRNA strand.
  • This helps to increase the diversity of mRNA's available and create more proteins.

Therefore, given that alternative splicing allows the cells to create multiple forms of distinct proteins from a single gene, this allowed our organisms to develop the vast number of proteins we use, without the need for a much larger genome.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Proteins, Liver, Osmotic, Fluid, Into The Blood, Decrease.

Explanation:

Blood is considered a colloid because it contains proteins in the plasma.

Most of these are produced by the liver.

Collectively, these substances exert osmotic pressure and prevent the loss of fluid from the blood as it moves through the capillaries.

The pressure exerted by the plasma proteins is called colloid osmotic pressure.

This force is responsible for moving fluids into the blood and preventing excess fluid loss between blood capillaries and the interstitial fluid.

If plasma protein levels decrease, colloid osmotic pressure will decrease.

I hope this answer helps.

What characteristic of cardiac muscle causes contraction of the heart as a unit?
Readme [11.4K]
The cardiac muscle has intercalated disk that allows rapid transmission of the impulse. This will allow the cardiac muscle to have a coordinated way. The heart muscle has pacemaker that will spread the signal in regular time. The transmission of impulse is also controlled by a few checkpoint like the bundle of his to make the signal to the Purkinje fiber of left and right ventricle at the same time.
