Interrupted

... is that there might be a pre-mRNA splicing event within the sequence that produces the mature mRNA strand. If so, the DNA sequence would be interrupted by an intron. If there is no splicing event, the mRNA sequence is the same as the sense sequence. Be careful, this is not how the sequences ...

In Eukayotes most of the genes are interrupted. Information in the genes are encrypted in sequences that will ultimately become a part of the polypeptide chain are called exons. But these exons are interrupted by long sequences which do not ...

... spiral around the axon (Figure 11-30), thereby insulating the axonal membrane so that little current can leak across it. The myelin sheath is interrupted at regularly spaced nodes of Ranvier, where almost all the Na+ channels in the axon are concentrated. Because the ensheathed portions of ...

... mild selection against it. I don’t think the presence of the trait would, in itself, eliminate malaria since the life-cycle of the parasite is not interrupted in any way and transmission is still possible. It’s just that some infected individuals don’t get as sick from their disease. Try some of ...
