Knowing that the base sequence of any given messenger RNA is responsible for precisely ordering the amino acids in a respective protein, present two mechanisms by which intrinsic properties of mRNA may regulate the "net output" of a given gene
What will be an ideal response?
(a) Final output of a given gene may be influenced by the stability of an mRNA, and stability of an mRNA is determined in part by its base content and sequence. (b) Differential splicing of mRNA (actually mRNA precursors) can influence how much of a given product will be made from a gene.
