Question

Which of the following is likely associated with the mRNA processing step of alternative splicing? 1. A gene is discovered to encode for two different proteins one protein has 46 amino acids and the other protein has 86 amino acid 2. A gene has 7 exons. one processed mRNA transcript from this gene contains exons 3, 4, 6 and 7. a second process mRNA transcript from this gene contains exons 2, 3, 5, and 7 3. The open reading frame of a gene contains 90 nucleotides but the translated polypeptide contains only 29 amino acids 4. Complexity of the transcrptome ( # of different mRNA molecules) increases

Expert Solution

Step 1

A process that helps a single gene to code for many proteins is known as alternate splicing. It is also known as alternate RNA (ribonucleic acid) splicing or differential splicing. Alternate splicing takes place during the gene expression. The proteins derived from alternate splicing of mRNA contain differences in their sequence of amino acids.
