explain how a single gene give rise to multiple forms of protein.

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ A single gene can give rise to multiple forms of protein through a process called alternative splicing. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Gene structure: A gene contains exons and introns. Exons are coding sequences that are expressed, while introns are non-coding sequences that are removed during RNA processing. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ RNA splicing: After transcription, the pre-mRNA undergoes splicing where introns are removed and exons are joined together. This process can occur in different ways to produce multiple mRNA variants from the same gene. ‖ ‖ c ⋮ Alternative splicing: This is the process by which different combinations of exons are joined together, resulting in the production of multiple unique mRNA transcripts from a single gene. ‖ ‖ d ⋮ Translation and protein diversity: Each mRNA transcript is translated into a protein, leading to the production of different proteins with potentially different functions from the same gene. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Alternative splicing ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Alternative splicing allows a single gene to produce multiple proteins by varying the combination of exons included in the final mRNA transcript. ⚹◊How does alternative splicing contribute to the generation of multiple protein forms from a single gene?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
