Question

Which of the following is not a way that alternative splicing is important? It allows for a decrease in mutations and translation damage One gene can be used to create more than one protein Alternative splicing is an important engine for evolution Can be involved in creation of genetic diseases and cancers Question 29 0.28 pts Which of the following is not a way that cells apply the force of osmosis? Osmosis drives the citric acid cycle Osmosis is the force that causes hypertension Plant cells use osmosis to move stems and leaves Kidneys manipulate osmosis to create urine

Answer 1

28. Alternative splicing is a method in which during RNA processing certain exons are retained and certain exons are spliced out, creating multiple mRNA isoforms.
Alternative splicing creates more than one protein from a single gene.

Limited genes can produce far more number of proteins due to alternative splicing this helps in evolution.

Alternative splicing is involves in the creation of genetic diseases and cancers.

option 1 is incorrect Alternative splicing doesn’t decreases mutations and translational damages.

29. Osmosis is the process in which water moves from the high concentration to low concentration across the semipermeable membrane.

Osmosis increases blood volume and causes hypertension.

Osmotic changes in plant parts help in movements for stems and leaves.

Kidney maintains hyperosmolarity in the medulla that helps in the concentration of urine.

Option A is incorrect Osmosis drives the citric acid cycle.
