in human genome if any example of mRNA that are translated from two possible region and are both functions and any disease associated with that .

Expert Solution
Step 1

Messenger Ribonucleic acids (mRNA):

mRna transfers the information from DNA to the cell machinery that create proteins specifically known as protein synthesis. It is single standard molecule that carries genetic code from DNA in a cell's nucleus to ribosomes acts as cell's protein making machinery.

 

Step 2

mRNA can be translated on free ribosomes in the cytoplasm with the help of transfer RNA (i.e, tRNA) molecules and multiple proteins called initiation, elongation, termination factors. Translation machinery resides with a specialised organelle called ribosome. in all types of cells the ribosome is composed of two sub units.  Each sub unit exists separately in the cytoplasm in mRNA molecule both are join together. 

mRNA transcription occurs in the nucleus by RNAP II enzyme and translated by the ribosome, which is located in the cytoplasm or the endoplasmic  reticulum of the cell.

The primary function of mRNA is to act as an intermediary between genetic information in DNA and the amino acid sequence of protein. mRNA contains codons which are complimentary to the sequence of nucleotides on the template DNA and directs the formation of amino acids with the help of ribosomes and tRNA.
