Question

PLS I NEED HELP FELLOW PPLE... APPROXIMATELY HOW MANY DIFFERENT PROTEINS CAN BE SYNTHESIZED USING JUST ONE GENE?

Answer 1

that completely depends on the gene. the gene coding for the erg1 protein in the heart only has two variants ie. erg1a and erg1b. However, the gene coding for the IGF1 protein has as many as 5 variants. It all depends on the number of exons in the gene. A gene could hypothetically have scores of variants

Answer 2

DESPITE THE VARIANTS, DO THEY ALL STILL PERFORM THE SAME FUNCTION? DONT ALL THE EXONS FRM A PARTICULAR GENE RESIDE ON THE MRNA DURING TRANSLATION? AND IF SO, WHY WUD THERE BE VARIANTS IF THE EXONS ARE ALL USED? OR DO THE EXONS COME FRM NEW CELLS FRM THE CELL DIVISION IN THE BODY? PLS EXPLAIN THIS THOROUGHLY
