What process or phenomenon allows for pre-mRNA to generate up to a dozen different mRNAs?
Added by Victor Manuel S.
Step 1

25,000 genes can produce the hundreds of thousands of proteins made by the body. How is this possible? Options: alternate splicing of mRNA, single nucleotide polymorphism, polyadenylation of mRNA, 5’- capping of mRNA
