Not long ago, it was believed that a count of the number of protein- coding genes would provide a count of the number of proteins produced in any given eukaryotic species. This is incorrect, largely due to the discovery of widespread
A) alternative splicing.
B) translational control.
C) transcriptional control.
D) chromatin condensation control.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The discovery of widespread alternative splicing has shown that a single gene can code for multiple protein isoforms, leading to a much greater diversity of proteins than originally thought. Transcriptional and translational control and chromatin condensation control can also impact protein production, but alternative splicing is the most direct answer to the question.
