4.1 Single genes can produce multiple<br />

products by alternative splicing<br />

Many genes in higher eukaryotes encode<br />

RNAs that can be <strong>splice</strong>d in alternative<br />

ways to generate two or more different<br />

mRNAs and, thus, different protein<br />

products.The basic answer is that some<br />

<strong>splice</strong> <strong>site</strong>s are used only some of the<br />

time,leading to the production of different<br />

versions of the RNA from different<br />

transcripts of the same gene.
