Suppose That an Induced Mutation Removes Most of the 5

question 60

Multiple Choice

Suppose that an induced mutation removes most of the 5' end of the 5' UTR. What might result?

• A) Removal of the 5' UTR has no effect because the exons are still maintained.
• B) Removal of the 5' UTR also removes the 5' cap and the mRNA will quickly degrade.
• C) The 3' UTR will duplicate and one copy will replace the 5' end.
• D) The first exon will not be read because I₁ will now serve as the UTR.
• E) Removal of the 5' UTR will result in the strand not binding to tRNAs.
