The mixing and matching of novel genes in eukaryotic cells occurs through
A) operons.
B) exon shuffling.
C) promoter regions.
D) untranslated regions.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exon shuffling is the process by which different exons within a gene or between different genes are recombined to form a new gene. This process can result in the creation of novel genes with unique functions. Operons, promoter regions, and untranslated regions are all involved in gene expression, but not in the mixing and matching of novel genes.
