Why might a single base-pair mutation in eukaryotic mRNA be less serious than one in prokaryotic mRNA?
a. If the mutation occurs in the 5' end of the start site, it will not affect the gene product.
b. If the mutation occurs in the exon, it will not affect the gene product.
c. If the mutation occurs in the splice site of a transcript with alternative splicing, only one gene product may
affected.
O d. If the mutation occurs in the intron or not in the splice site of a transcript with alternative splicing, it will nc
affect the gene product.
O e. If the mutation occurs in the 3' end of the start site, it will not affect the gene product.
