7) We learned that post-transcriptional processing is very important in eukaryotic cells, such as those in our own bodies. Of what possible advantage could this be to a cell? Name one part of mammalian (including human) function
that relies very much on the 'slicing and recombination that is part of post-transcriptional processing.

Alternative splicing is a posttranscriptional modification that enables to produce many proteins from a single gene, thereby increasing its functional diversity. In mammals, alternative splicing has shown to be associated with the control of different signaling pathways in response to environmental conditions.

Explanation:

Posttranscriptional modifications are required for the maturation of primary RNA transcripts, and it is associated with the process of translation into proteins. These types of modifications include the alternative splicing in order to remove introns of pre-mRNA molecules, the addition of a cap to the 5' end and polyadenylation of the 3′ end of mRNAs, etc. For example, the polyadenylation (poly-A) of mRNA tails provide stability to these molecules, thereby they are more resistant to exonucleolytic degradation and thus can be translated into proteins.

ans.

gregor john mendel is known for study of inheritance in pea plants. he used garden pea plant for his study, having alternative traits for various characters. he performed cross-breeding in pea plants to check how characters are transmitted between parents to offspring, such as cross between pure tall and pure dwarf plant. mendel studied the inheritance patterns in pea plants for various generations.

thus, the correct answer includes options and f).
