In eukaryotes, alternative splicing of pre-mRNAs can result in the production of many structurally distinct proteins from information encoded in a single gene. Explain

Answer:

A single gene form different isoforms of protein that result from the alternative splicing of pre-mRNA sequences. one gene many polypeptide hypothesis applies here very well. This whole process helps in proliferating informational diversity and functional capacity of a gene that'll ultimately he;p in gene regulation.

This alternative splicing of pre-mRNA also produces proteomic diversity that result in various development states as well as various disease conditions later.
