Why might a peahen choose to mate with a peacock with a long, gaudy tail?

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. He is easier to find than a male with a plain tail

  2. She feels sorry for him
  3. Actually, it is the male (peacock) that chooses its mate
  4. A male with such a tail who is able to survive and reproduce likely carries genes that will enhance the survival of the peahen's young

Statement: In the case of group II introns, the chemistry of splicing and the RNA intermediates produced are the same as those for nuclear pre-mRNA.

 Explanations: I. The intron uses an A residue within the branch site to attack the phosphodiester bond at the boundary between its 5’ end and the end of the 5’ exon-that is, at the 5’ splice site. This reaction produces the branched lariat.

II. A second reaction in which the newly freed 3’ -OH of the exon attacks the 3’splice site, releasing the intron as a lariat and fusing the 3’ and 5’ exons.
