Introns and an Exons Are Removed from Gene 1 and Inserted

Multiple Choice

Introns and an exons are removed from Gene 1 and inserted into Gene 2. What could happen to the protein product as a result of this mistake?

A) Nothing; Gene 2 receives all of its necessary exons so the protein will be translated correctly.
B) Only the first segment of Gene 2 will be translated into a protein, therefore the protein will be nonfunctional.
C) All of Gene 1 and 2 will be translated into proteins; there is an insertion of an Exon 2 from Gene 1 . into Gene 2, the protein may not function properly. Natural selection may eliminate this protein or if the new protein provides a beneficial trait it may increase in prevalence in the population.
D) The start codon from Gene 1 is not present after intron removal, therefore this gene will not be translated.
E) Only Gene 1 will be translated into a protein since Gene 2 has an extra Exon 2.
