Different mRNAs can be obtained from the same gene by
A) terminating transcription at different stop codons.
B) splicing the mRNA with different exons.
C) adding the 7-methylguanosine cap at different sites.
D) alternate folding of mRNA.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Different mRNAs can be obtained from the same gene by splicing the pre-mRNA with different combinations of exons. This process, known as alternative splicing, allows for the production of multiple protein isoforms with different functions from a single gene. The other choices (A, C, and D) are not accurate in describing the process of generating different mRNAs from a single gene.
