Q. No.When the human genome was first sequenced, scientists expected to find around 100,000 genes (which corresponded to the estimated number of different proteins in a human). Upon its completion and analysis of reading frames, they discovered the number was more likely 25,000. What is the most likely explanation for this?
1. Gene editing
2. Alternative splicing
3. Exon shuffling
4. Intron excision
