What would be the most likely result of transferring the UTR (untranslated region)from one gene to another?
A) the binding of transcription factors may change
B) the posttranslational modification may change
C) the ubiquitination of the protein may change
D) the half-life of the mRNA may change
E) the rate of transcription may be decreased

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The untranslated region (UTR) of an mRNA molecule plays a crucial role in regulating its stability and translation efficiency. Therefore, transferring the UTR from one gene to another may affect the half-life of the mRNA, leading to changes in the level of protein expression. The other options (A, B, C, E) are less likely to be affected by the transfer of UTR.
