The figure below shows the introns and exons found in gene X. The size of each exon and intron is shown as
well. A study on this organism found that two mature mRNA molecules are produced for this gene. One is 867
nucleotides in length, and the other is 685 nucleotides in length. Name the process responsible for producing
this variation. Also explain how these 867 and 685 nucleotide fragments were produced by referring to the
information provided.
Hint: This organism produces a poly-A tail of 150 nucleotides.

She was getting a little turned around with the differences between DNA and RNA. She started working a problem that gave a segment of original DNA as follows: ТА Then, the problem said that original DNA was mutated to become: TAG Use the codon table to help Karenca determine whether or not this mutation will cause a change in the phenotype (what the organism looks like) of the organism. * Even though the DNA sequence changed, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur. Yes, the phenotype of the organism would change because a new amino acid will be coded for. Yes, the phenotype of the organism would change because any change in the DNA sequence will cause a change in phenotype. It is impossible to determine if a change in phenotype will occur using only the DNA sequence.arrow_forwardFor each codon, provide the anticodon and the three-letter abbreviation of the amino acid for which it codes.
