Multiple proteins can be produced from a single gene by
A) intron shuffling.
B) alternate splicing.
C) chain switching.
D) production of pseudogenes.
E) chromatin remodeling.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of alternate splicing allows for multiple proteins to be produced from a single gene. This occurs when different exons are selected and joined together during RNA processing, resulting in different mRNA transcripts and ultimately different protein products. Intron shuffling and chain switching are not known mechanisms for producing multiple proteins from a single gene, and the production of pseudogenes and chromatin remodeling are not directly related to protein production.
