A) alternative splicing; proteins
B) exon shuffling; proteins
C) alternative splicing; transcripts

E) genomic imprinting; transcripts

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alternative splicing allows a single gene to produce multiple proteins by including or excluding certain sequences of RNA, known as exons, during the processing of pre-mRNA. This process can significantly alter the protein produced from a gene, leading to a diversity of proteins from a single gene sequence.
