Question 42 1 p A benefit of alternative splicing is that helps increase the rate of translation. it enhances the mutation rate to allow for faster natural selection. it increases the number of exons in the genome. It increases the number of proteins that can be made from a single gene.

Step 1
Alternative splicing is a process by which different combinations of exons from a single gene are joined together to form different messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules. These different mRNA molecules can then be translated into different proteins. Let's analyze each Show more…

4) Alternative splicing has been estimated to occur in more than 95% of multi-exon genes. Which of the following is not an evolutionary advantage of alternative splicing? a Alternative splicing increases diversity without increasing genome size. b Different gene isoforms can be expressed in different tissues. c Alternative splicing creates shorter mRNA transcripts. d Different gene isoforms can be expressed during different stages of development.

What is the evolutionary advantage of strategy alternative splicing offers to organisms? The evolutionary advantage is that an organism can remove an exon containing the mutation during alternative splicing The evolutionary advantage is that an organism can encode more proteins without an increase in gene number: The evolutionary advantage is that an organism increases the number of mRNAs to encode various proteins_ The evolutionary advantage is that an organism can increase gene number to encode varieties of similar proteins
Alternative splicing has been estimated to occur in more than $95 \%$ of multi-exon genes. Which of the following is not an evolutionary advantage of alternative splicing? a. Alternative splicing increases diversity without increasing genome size. b. Different gene isoforms can be expressed in different tissues. c. Alternative splicing creates shorter mRNA transcripts. d. Different gene isoforms can be expressed during different stages of development.
