Due to _________,the 20,000-25,000 genes of the human genome seem to encode as many as 120,000 different expressed mRNAs.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alternative splicing is the process of generating different mature mRNA molecules by combining different combinations of exons within a gene. This process allows for the production of multiple protein isoforms from a single gene, leading to a significantly larger number of possible mRNA products than the number of genes in the genome. It is estimated that over 90% of human genes undergo alternative splicing, resulting in a much greater diversity of protein products.
