Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Alternative splicing is also termed as differential splicing. This process is used to regulate gene expression and results in formation of different proteins from a single gene. In this process, exons are included or excluded from the processed mRNA translated from the given gene.

Which of the following statements about the attempt to express a eukaryotic gene in bacteria is TRUE?   Choose an answer below: The eukaryotic promoter will function in the bacterial cells. The transcript will be capped. Expression of the gene will always yield a functional protein. The stop codon of the eukaryotic gene will function in the bacterial cells. The transcript will be spliced the same way as in eukaryotic cells.
Which of the following best explains how the expression of a eukaryotic gene encoding a protein will differ if the gene is expressed in a prokaryotic cell instead of in a eukaryotic cell? No transcript will be made, because eukaryotic DNA cannot be transcribed by prokaryotic RNA polymerase. The protein will be made but will not function, because prokaryotes cannot remove introns. The protein will not be made, because prokaryotes lack the ribosomes necessary for translation. The protein will have a different sequence of amino acids, because prokaryotes use a different genetic code.
In a cell that produces only one type of protein, which of the following statements about the relationship between hnRNA and mRNA is TRUE? O Heterogeneous nuclear RNA is always larger than mRNA. O Heterogeneous nuclear RNA is always smaller than mRNA. O Heterogeneous nuclear RNA and mRNA are typically the same size. O Heterogeneous nuclear RNA is always the same molecule as mRNA. There is no consistent relationship between the size of the two molecules.
