A researcher measures the quantity of cDNA that corresponds to the exons of a particular gene in mice using RNA-seq.  They find that RNA for this gene isolated from the brain contains 4 exons, while RNA from the liver heart and skin contains 5 exons.  What phenomenon likely explains this result?
◦ cells of the brain splice this mRNA differently than other cells in the mouse
◦ the mRNA in the brain is a pseudogene
◦ the brain cell chromosome lacks the exon that is present in the other cells of the mouse
◦ the skin, liver and heart cells differentiate before the brain and so have different exons
◦ there is a brain-specific allele compared to the other cells in the mouse
