Question 1

What is the general name for the components of the spliceosome, which removes introns from mRNAs?
◦ lariat intronic nucleolar proteins
◦ branch point adenine recognition proteins
◦ small nuclear ribonucleoproteins
◦ microRNA activators
◦ small interfering RNA enhancers

Question 2

What is the purpose of alternative splicing in eukaryotic cells?
◦ Increase the number of genes that do not have to contain introns.
◦ Improve the efficiency of transcription and translation.
◦ Produce multiple types of tRNAs that can bind to different codons.
◦ Regulate the quantity of any single protein being produced in the cell.
◦ Produce multiple polypeptide sequences from a single primary transcript.
