Since spliceosomes increase the diversity of mature RNA which leads to diversities in the sequence of amino acids, would this refute the one gene-one polypeptide hypothesis?
Yes according to the hypothesis one gene codes for only single polypeptide. That is the the modified version of the sentence one gene one enzyme concept. Due to spliceosomes there will be alternate splicing which leads to made up of different proteins from a single gene .where the mature RNA produces different types of proteins by skipping only certain exons .Where in eukaryotes the one gene majorly produces many proteins by splicing process.So the one gene one polypeptide statement isis hence proven wrong.
