In an experimental situation, a student researcher inserts an mRNA molecule into the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell after she has removed its 5' cap and poly-A tail. Which of the following would you expect her to find?

a) The mRNA attaches to a ribosome and is translated, but more slowly.

b) The cell adds a new poly-A tail

c) The mRNA is quickly spliced into an mRNA containing a 5

The mRNA would most likely be degraded by nucleases in the cell cytoplasm

Explanation:

The 5'cap on an mRNA strand is necessary to bind ribosomes when the mRNA is being transcribed it also:

The poly-A tail helps to:

Without the cap and tail the mRNA is just a free ranging strand of nucleotides that the cell will try to clean up.

b

explanation:

the correct answer is: d. the saltine and pretzel are made of flour, yeast, and baking soda, and salt. the pecan contains no flour but it does contain fats. the pecan is a nut that can be consumed as a healthy snack. first of all, pecans are a source of fat (monounsaturated fat), but they provide less fat than some other nuts. pecans are a rich source of dietary fiber, manganese magnesium, phosphorus, thiamin, vitamin e…
