    A gene that was \[5055\] bp long resulted in three Polypeptides-350 amino acids long, \[450\] amino acids long and \[1500\] amino acids long. The most Likely reason for this is:

    A) mRNA degradation

    B) Alternate splicing

    C) Gene amplification

    D) Nonsense mutation

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Alternate splicing is a regulated process during gene expression that results in a single gene coding for multiple proteins. In this process, particular exons of a gene may be included within or excluded from the final, processed messenger RNA (mRNA) produced from that gene.
