Do you think that the alternate splicing of exons may enable a structural gene to code for several isoproteins from one and the same gene? If yes, how? If not, why so ?

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Alternate Splicing**: - Alternate splicing is a process during gene expression where different combinations of exons are joined together, and some introns are removed, resulting in multiple mRNA variants from a single gene. 2. **Role of Structural Genes**: - Structural genes are segments of DNA that code for proteins. The mRNA transcribed from these genes can be spliced in various ways to produce different protein isoforms. ...

Do you think that the alternate splicing of exons may enable a structural gene to code for several isoprotains from one and the same gene? If yes, how? If not, why so ?

A plumb bob is hung from the ceiling of a train compartment. If the train moves with an acceleration a along a straight horizontal track, the string supporting the bob makes an angle tan^1 (a/g) with the normal to the ceiling. Suppose the train moves on an inclined straight track with uniform velocity, if the angle of incline is tan^-1(a/g) , the string again makes the same angle with the normal to the ceiling. Can a person sitting inside the compartment tell by looking at the plumb line whether the train is accelerated on a horizontal straight track or it is going on an incline? If yes, how? If no, suggest a method to do so.
