The human genome contains approximately 20,000 protein-coding genes, yet it has the capacity to produce several hundred thousand

gene products. What can account for the vast difference in gene number and product number? The human genome contains approximately 20,000 protein-coding genes, yet it has the capacity to produce several hundred thousand gene products. What can account for the vast difference in gene number and product number? Alternative splicing occurs. There are more introns than exons. There are more exons than introns. Much of the DNA is in the form of trinucleotide repeats, thus allowing multiple start sites for different genes. Every gene can be read in both directions, and each gene can have inversions and translocations.

Answer:

Alternative splicing occurs.

Explanation:

The human genome comprises of a large number of introns or no protein-coding sequence interspersed between the exons or the protein-coding sequence.

After transcription in eukaryotes, an event takes place called splicing which removes all the introns from the mRNA and joins exons and additionally alternative splicing takes place which joins together many exons in many combinations which produce a variety of processed mRNA and thus a variety of proteins.

The process of alternative splicing produces a lot more than proteins from a single gene product.

Thus, alternative splicing is correct.

Punnett squares are used to show possible combinations of alleles or to predict the probability of a trait occurring in offsprin
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be 2 in 4.

According to the question Xo and XO show codominance and express themselves completely when present in heterozygous condition. Cats bearing XoXO show patchwork of black and orange fur and are called tortoiseshell cats.

Xo codes for orange color fur and XO codes for black color fur. In addition, Y chromosome does not contain any gene associated with fur color.

Now, genotype of mother cat is XOXO (orange fur). So, the gametes formed would be XO only.

The genotype of father cat is XoY(black fur). So, the gametes would be Xo and Y.

The cross would lead to the formation of two male cats each having XOY as their genotype and two female cats each with XOXo as their genotype.

Hence, both the male cats would show orange fur and both the female cats would show patchwork of orange and black fur.

Therefore, we can conclude that 2 out of 4 would exhibit tortoiseshell coloring.
