Discuss how this mechanism of regulating gene expression might offer advantages over gene regulation using only transcription-dependent mechanisms.

Molecular Biology

More than one different mRNA transcripts can arise from a single gene.
Using specific examples discuss how this mechanism of regulating gene expression might offer advantages over gene regulation using only transcription-dependent mechanisms.
Design and rationalise experiments you would conduct to demonstrate the occurrence of alternative mRNA splicing from a specific eukaryotic gene.
