When Does Exon Shuffling Occur

Question

When does exon shuffling occur?
A)during splicing of DNA
B)during mitotic recombination
C)as an alternative splicing pattern in post-transcriptional processing
D)as an alternative cleavage or modification post-translationally
E)as the result of faulty DNA repair

Accepted Answer

Exon shuffling occurs as an alternative splicing pattern in post-transcriptional processing. This process involves the mixing and matching of different exons from a single gene to create new combinations of proteins. This can lead to the evolution of new genes and protein functions.
