A. A gene can encode multiple isoforms with different functions

B. A gene is a stretch of DNA sequence with a defined function

C. A long transcript that has no protein-coding sequences has no functional role in cells

Explanation / Answer

According to the current concepts of genes, the following statements are currect:

A. Agene can encode multiple isofoms with different functions.

B. A gene is a stretch of DNA sequence with a defined function

D. The majority of the human genome is transcribed

While the statement C is False, because a long transcript of DNA sequence thar has no protein coding sequence has been identified as having some functional activity.
