In order to ensure that only fully processed mature mRNAs are allowed to be exported to cytosol, pre-mRNAs associated with snRNPs are retained in the nucleus. To demonstrate this, an experiment was performed where a gene coding a pre-mRNA with a single intron was mutated either at the 5’ or 3’ splice sites or both the splice sites.

Given below are a few possible outcomes, Choose NOT FEASIBLE OUTCOME

A. Pre-mRNA having mutation at both the splice sites will be retained in the nucleus because of the presence of bound snRNPs.

B. Pre-mRNA having mutation at both the splice sites will be exported to cytosol because of the absence of bound snRNPs.

C. Pre-mRNA mutated at either 3’ or 5’ splice sites will be retained in the nucleus because of the presence of bound snRNPs.

D. Pre-mRNA mutated at either 3’ or 5’ splice sites will be exported to cytosol because of the absence of bound snRNPs.

Several genes coding for enzymes associated with osmotic adjustment are turned on (up-regulated) by osmotic stress and/or salinity, and cold stress. These genes encode enzymes such as the following;
I) ∆′1-Pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase, a key enzyme in the proline biosynthetic pathway
II) myo-Inositol 6-O-methyltransferase, a rate-limiting enzyme in the accumulation of the cyclic sugar alcohol called pinitol
III) Betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase, an enzyme involved in glycine betaine accumulation
