Thought Question |
|
There are 3 exons in
this gene and we'll assume that they may be
alternatively spliced together.
How many different
mRNAs can be generated for this gene?
|
| a) 3
b) 6
c) 7
d) 24
e) 72 |

| Answer |
| Assuming that all 3
exons can be alternatively spliced then seven distinct mRNAs may be
generated from this gene. a) 3 b) 6 c) 7 d) 24 e) 72 |
 |
| 7
different mRNAs can produce 7 different proteins from only
one DNA segment. Wow! |
