<span>The set point theory is when your metabolism adjusts to keep your body weight consistent. It says that humans have predetermined body weight or fat content and they body closely regulates your metabolism accordingly.</span>

Set point refers to the optimal weight range or body size that your body is designed to function. According to the theory, the human body fights bodily changes and tries to maintain homeostasis by altering body fat or metabolism. Our body can also be affected by other factors such as environmental toxins.

Suppose that a scientist deletes the AAUAAA consensus sequence, the poly(A) tail, or the 5' cap from pre‑mRNAs in an mRNA. She t
Andrej [43]

Answer:

<h2>AAUAA deletion- (B ) </h2><h2> </h2><h2>Poly(A) tail deletion- (C) </h2><h2> </h2><h2>5' cap deletion-  (A) </h2>

Explanation:

(A) introns are not removed from the pre-mRNA due to 5' deletion;

(B) the pre-mRNA is not cleaved at the cleavage site due to AAUAA deletion

(C) the mRNA is not transported to the cytoplasm due to poly A tail deletion;

AAUAA deletion:  if we delete the AAUAA  sequence then there is the change of sequence of pre- mRNA that the pre-mRNA is not cleaved at the cleavage site .

Poly(A) tail deletion: Poly(A) tail is the long tail of Adenine in the 3' end of mRNA, after the deletion of Poly(A) tail, it affects the transport of mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and  the mRNA is not transported to the cytoplasm if tail is deleted.

5' cap deletion; the effect of 5' cap deletion is that introns are not removed from the pre-mRNA. The process of intron removing and exon joining is called RNA splicing.

Explain why mitosis does not produce genetic variation and how meiosis leads to the production of tremendous genetic variation.
VladimirAG [237]
Mitosis produces cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.
Meiosis includes two distinct processes that contribute to the generation of
genetic variation: crossing over shuffles alleles on the same chromosome
into new combinations, whereas the random distribution of maternal and
paternal chromosomes shuffles alleles on different chromosomes into new
