What is alternative splicing?

Biology

Answer: B) mRNA processing events that lead to different types of exons being spliced together

Explanation:

When DNA is transcribed into mRNA, a primary RNA or pre-mRNA transcript is obtained that includes introns and  exons. For this pre-mRNA to give way to an mRNA it must undergo a maturation process of the mRNA, which

is basically to eliminate all introns primary transcript and then binding exons.

So RNA splicing is a post-transcriptional process of maturing RNA from which certain sequential fragments are removed. This process is very common in eukaryotes, and can occur in any type of RNA, although it is more common in mRNA.

Removal of introns and binding of exons in the mRNA occurs before leaving the nucleus. This process is known as splicing. <u>The alternative splicing of identical RNA transcripts into different cell types can produce different molecules of mature mRNA that are translated into different polypeptides.</u>

Frank has Klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY). His mother has normal skin, but his father has anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, an X-l
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

b. Frank received the mutant chromosome from his father. Nondisjunction occurred in his father during the first meiotic division.

Explanation:

As you can see in the question above, Frank has Klinefelter syndrome which causes him to have normal skin patches and skin patches without sweat glands. Her mother has completely normal hair, which may indicate that the defective gene was not supplied by her. In addition, Frank's father has anhydrotic ectodermal dysplasia, an X-linked condition where the skin does not contain sweat glands.

Although Frank's father's defective gene is linked to the X chromosome, it is likely that Frank inherited the defective gene from his country. This may have occurred because during meiosis I, his father's genes did not show disjunction. As a result, Frank presents a mosaic of his phenotype, because an inactivation of the X chromosome occurred.
