I. Oxytocin causes contraction of the smooth muscle of the uterus.

II. The suckling of an infant at the breast stimulates the touch receptors, the nuclei are stimulated, oxytocin is released.

III. The sensitivity of the uterine musculature to oxytocin is enhanced by estrogen.

IV. Progesterone directly stimulates myometrial contraction while simultaneously reducing oxytocin clearance.

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.
