MCQ Detail

It allows for the production of multiple protein isoforms from a single gene

It increases the stability of mRNA molecules

It prevents transcription initiation

It regulates the activity of RNA polymerase

Answer: It allows for the production of multiple protein isoforms from a single gene

Explanation:

Alternative splicing is a process where different combinations of exons within a pre-mRNA transcript can be joined together, leading to the production of multiple mRNA isoforms and, consequently, multiple protein isoforms from a single gene.
