Alternative RNA splicing ____
|
|
is a mechanism for increasing the rate of translation
|
|
|
can allow the production of proteins of different sizes and functions from a single mRNA
|
|
|
can allow the production of similar proteins from different RNAs
|
|
|
increases the rate of transcription
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Alternative splicing is the process of selecting different combinations of splice sites within a messenger RNA precursor (pre-mRNA) to produce variably spliced mRNAs. These multiple mRNAs can encode proteins that vary in their sequence and activity, and yet arise from a single gene.
Detailed explanation-2: -Alternative splicing is a ubiquitous regulatory mechanism of gene expression that allows generation of more than one unique mRNA species from a single gene.
