Multiple Choice
It has been recently determined that the gene for Duchenne muscular dystrophy DMD is more than 2000 kb kilobases in length; however,the mRNA produced by this gene is only about 14 kb long.What is a likely cause of this discrepancy?
A) The exons have been spliced out during mRNA processing.
B) There are more amino acids coded for by the DNA than by the mRNA.
C) The DNA represents a double- stranded structure,whereas the RNA is single- stranded.
D) The introns have been spliced out during mRNA processing.
E) When the mRNA is produced,it is highly folded and therefore less long.
