Which of the following would likely exclude a sequence from being considered as an active gene?
A) introns missing the GT- AG splice junctions compared to other genes in this family
B) only one long exon
C) an exon followed by 3' processing signals
D) a promoter with signals identical to the promoter of another gene
E) exons in different reading frames from one another

Question

E  A sequence missing the GT-AG splice junctions would likely be unable to properly splice introns, which is crucial for gene expression. Exons in different reading frames would disrupt the coding sequence, likely preventing the production of a functional protein.
