Questions and Answers

What is the primary effect of alternative splicing on gene expression?

  • It increases the number of genes in the genome.
  • It enhances the transcription process of RNA.
  • It produces different isoforms of mRNA from the same RNA transcript. (correct)
  • It permanently alters the DNA sequence of a gene.
  • How does RNA interference (RNAi) primarily affect mRNA?

  • It promotes the splicing of introns from mRNA.
  • It stabilizes mRNA in the nucleus.
  • It destroys mRNA or blocks its translation. (correct)
  • It enhances the translation of mRNA into proteins.
  • Which component is responsible for the unwinding of double stranded miRNA in RNA interference?

  • Alternative splicing factors
  • Precursor miRNA Binding Complex
  • RISC helicase activity (correct)
  • mRNA stability regulators
