Anonsense mutation has occurred, resulting in a truncated, nonfunctional product in the mutant. in a eukaryotic cell, a gene that is initially transcribed is 1500 nucleotides in length. the mature mrna for the product is 1200 nucleotides in length. what is the most probable reason for the discrepancy?
