The diagram below shows pre-mRNA an dtv1e5w5hx5w d three mature mRNA transcripts ay sm9aw9 s);,cx2qwmwhere the introns hav ssww)ma q;y m29xa,c9e been removed.
What is an advantage of the above process?
A. The rate of transcription increases.
B. Different polypeptides can be produced from one pre-mRNA transcript.
C. Translation occurs immediately after transcription.
D. Prokaryotes can produce a variety of proteins from one section of DNA.
参考答案: B
本题详细解析:
The above process shows the spl-19j wi 1su w;y rlpcr.z*nbj9icing of mRNA in which introns are removed and exons are joined together in different arrangements. The advantage of mRNA splicing is that the number of different polypeptides that can be produced by one segment of DNA is increased. mRNA splicing only occurs in eukaryr; *ips 1 w.19j lb-rjcwznyu9otes.Splicing does not increase the rate of transcription as it occurs after transcription is complete (Choice A).In eukaryotes, translation takes place after post-transcriptional modifications are complete which requires several steps, so translation does not occur immediately after transcription (Choice C).Splicing of mRNA does not take place in prokaryotes because there are no introns in prokaryotic DNA (Choice D).
