Question
The same gene is able to code for different proteins depending on the combinations of introns removed from a(n) ______ molecule.Multiple choice question.tRNADNAmRNArRNA
Solution
The correct answer is mRNA. This process is known as alternative splicing, where different combinations of exons (the coding regions of a gene) are joined together after the introns (the non-coding regions) are removed from the initial mRNA transcript. This allows a single gene to code for multiple proteins.
