It has been recently determined that the gene for duchenne muscular dystrophy (dmd) is more than 2000 kb (kilobases) in length; however, the mrna produced by this gene is only about 14 kb long. what is a likely cause of this discrepancy?
(a) more amino acids are coded for by the dna than by the mrna.
(b) the exons have been spliced out during mrna processing.
(c) when the mrna is produced, it is highly folded and therefore less long.
(d) the introns have been spliced out during mrna processing.
(e) the dna represents a double-stranded structure, whereas the rna is single-stranded.

Acladogram is a branching diagram that represents suggested evolutionary relationships among organisms based on the presence of unique traits. a scientist discovers a new organism that lacks limbs and does not have a true backbone. the organism lays eggs to produce offspring and has a cartilage-like rod known as a notochord running along its dorsal surface. on the cladogram below, select the species to which the newly discovered organism is most closely related.
