Alternative splicing
A) gives rise to different arrangements of genomic DNA.
B) results in the production of distinct proteins having a number of domains in common.
C) requires different U1 snRNAs.
D) results from the actions of different RNases to degrade exon sequences.
E) involves different proteolytic processing events to generate different proteins.

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 the pre-mRNA. This process can result in proteins that share common domains but also have unique regions, depending on which exons are retained in the final mRNA.
