A mouse is homozygous for a transversion that eliminated the splice site between the first exon and the first intron of gene "G." The resulting mutant mRNA is longer than the wild type,but the protein that it encodes is much shorter than its wild-type counterpart.Provide a logical and plausible explanation for these observations.
