Introduction: During RNA processing, alternate splicing of pre-mRNA produces different mRNA variants from a single gene. This results in synthesis of multiple isoforms of protein encoded by a single gene. In this, certain exons may be included or excluded from the mature mRNA.
B.
To determine: The accuracy of the statement, “alternate exons ‘2 and, 3’ in human α-tropomyosin gene must each contain an integral number of codons (that is, the number of nucleotides divided by 3 must be an integer)”.
Introduction: During RNA processing, alternate splicing of pre-mRNA produces different mRNA variants from a single gene. This results in synthesis of multiple isoforms of protein encoded by a single gene. In this, certain exons may be included or excluded from the mature mRNA.
C.
To determine: The accuracy of the statement, “alternate exons ‘2 and, 3’ in human α-tropomyosin gene must each contain a number of nucleotides that when divided by 3 leaves the same remainder (that is, 0, 1, or 2)”.

A. antiviral drugs are very difficult to develop andhave no side effects B. viruses are difficult to target because they usethe host cell’s enzymes and ribosomes tometabolize and replicate C. viruses are too small to be targeted by drugs D. viral infections usually clear up on their ownwith no problemsarrow_forwardThis question has 3 parts (A, B, & C), and is under the subject of Nutrition.
