Question
Chapter 18.5, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
How multiple exons might have arisen in the ancestral EGF and fibronectin genes, with reference to the data provided in the “Figure 18.14”.
Introduction:
The part of the gene that encodes for RNA is known as exon. During RNA splicing the non-coding part introns are removed and the exons are covalently bond to generate mature mRNA (messenger RNA). Just as the genome is the entire set of gene, exome is the entire set of exons.
