If a gene produces a pre-RNA that is 1000 base pairs (bp) long and has the following intron-exon structure: • Exon 1 - 100 bp • Intron 1 - 100 bp • Exon 2 - 150 bp • Intron 2 - 150 bp • Exon 3 - 500 bp Disregarding alternative splicing, how many base pairs would you expect the mature mRNA to be? 350 750 1000 500 250

Step 1
The pre-RNA is 1000 base pairs long and is divided into exons and introns. The structure is given as follows: Exon1-100 bp, Intron 1-100 bp, Exon 2-150 bp, Intron 2-150 bp, Exon 3-500 bp. Show more…

What is the size of a fully processed mature mRNA? Assume a poly(A) tail of 250 bp in your calculations. SHOW WORK. Exon 1 250bp Intron 1 750 bp Exon 2 350 bp Intron 2 500 bp Exon 3 199 bp Intron 3 1500 bp Exon 4 200 bp

A gene encodes a protein with 150 amino acids. There is one intron of 1000 base pairs (bp), a 5?-untranslated region of 100 bp, and a 3?- untranslated region of 200 bp. In the final mRNA, about how many bases lie between the start AUG codon and final termination codon? (A) 150 (B) 450 (C) 650 (D) 1750
Let us consider the following. A gene produces a primary transcript that is 1200 basepairs (bp) long with the intron-exon structure: Exon 1 - 200 bp Intron 1 - 100 bp Exon 2 - 50 bp Intron 2 - 150 bp Exon 3 - 700 bp You can correctly deduce that the length of the mRNA is basepairs
