Question

Which of the following permits a single gene to code for more than one polypeptide? Group of answer choices genetic differentiation alternative RNA splicing addition of different types of caps and tails to the final version of the mRNA strands retention of different introns in the final version of the different mRNA strands

Answer 1

The correct answer is - alternative RNA splicing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternative splicing, or differential splicing, or alternative RNA splicing, is a controlled process that takes place during gene expression that leads to a single gene to code for multiple polypeptides or proteins.

Alternative splicing produces differential combinations of exons of the same gene that result in gene expression for more than one polypeptide by a single gene.
