What is alternative splicing? a. phosphorylation that leads to different types of post-translational regulation b. mRNA processing that leads to different combinations of exons being spliced together c. folding that leads to proteins with alternative conformations d. the outcome of regulatory proteins that leads to changes in the life span of an mRNA

Video transcript

Hello everyone here. We have a question asking us, how does alternative splicing contribute to protein diversity? Alternative RNA splicing rearranges Exxon's from recently spliced m r N A. This gives us different combinations, which eventually produces multiple, distinct protein ice it forms. So this gives us many different protein ice forms, which gives us protein diversity. So our answer here is be a single gene can create multiple proteins. Thank you for watching. Bye.
