Can prokaryotes remove introns during gene expression?

No, prokaryotes do not remove introns during gene expression.


Are intron transcribed into the primary transcript?

No. The introns must be cut out of RNA before transcription. This is because a ribosome cannot read introns, and can only read axons. They are cut out and the axons are attached together to go through ribosome.


What is the primary transcript of eukaryotic genes?

the primary transcript usually has a exons and introns which need to undergo splicing to remove the introns and re-splicing to join the exons ..after this process the resulting mRNA is a mature mRNA.


After the primary transcript mRNA has been formed what mediates the cutting of introns?

The process of removing introns from the pre-mRNA is mediated by a large complex called the spliceosome. The spliceosome recognizes the intron-exon boundaries and catalyzes the splicing reaction to remove the introns and join the exons together. This results in the formation of mature mRNA ready for translation.


Why must introns be removed while the exons remain in the mRNA?

Introns are non-translated sections of a gene, i.e. they are not made into protein. The gene is stored in the chromosomes as DNA. When the corresponding protein is needed, the DNA is copied (transcribed) by RNA polymerase making a complementary copy of the gene made of RNA. This is then processed to remove the introns (the non-coding parts of the gene). It was long thought these introns hasdno use. However, there is evidence that they have a role in the processing of the RNA. In addition, introns allow more than one protein to be produced from a single gene. The RNA with the introns removed is now the messenger RNA (mRNA) which is transported out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm, where it is read by the ribosome, which produces the coded protein.

Why do the introns have to br removed?

Introns are the non-coding parts of the gene. If you didn't remove introns, the wrong protein may be produced because they allow more than one protein to be produced from a single gene.


What is the function of primary transcript?

The primary transcript, also known as pre-mRNA in eukaryotes, serves as the initial RNA copy synthesized from a DNA template during transcription. Its primary function is to carry the genetic information needed to produce proteins, which are essential for various cellular functions. Before becoming mature mRNA, the primary transcript undergoes several processing steps, including capping, polyadenylation, and splicing, to remove introns and join exons, ultimately preparing it for translation.

Lamp failure 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

most likely it is the high mount rear brake light. Open hatch and you will see where to remove the screw to access the bulb.


What are the introns and exons?

An intron is a DNA region within a gene that is not translated into protein. After intron splicing (ie. removal), the mRNA consists only of exon derived sequences, which are translated into a protein.


Can a cosigner remove the primary borrower from a loan agreement?

No, a cosigner cannot remove the primary borrower from a loan agreement. The primary borrower is responsible for the loan, and the cosigner is only responsible if the primary borrower fails to pay.


How to remove primary case from 2005 electra glide?

To remove the primary case from a 2005 Electra Glide, start by disconnecting the battery and draining the primary fluid. Next, remove the primary cover by unscrewing the bolts and gently prying it off. After that, detach the primary chain by loosening the tensioner, and finally remove the inner primary by unscrewing its bolts. Always consult the service manual for specific torque specifications and procedures to ensure proper reassembly.
