Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A gene variant refers to any alteration in the genetic sequence of a gene, which can include mutations or changes in the number of copies of a gene. Alleles are different versions of the same gene that can be found at the same location on a chromosome, and do not necessarily imply a change in the gene sequence. Functional hypothalamic amenorrhea and endometriosis are both medical conditions related to reproductive health and not related to gene sequence alterations. Gene splicing refers to the process by which introns are removed from pre-mRNA during transcription to form mature RNA molecules, and is not directly related to gene sequence alterations.
