Gene expression might be altered at the level of post-transcriptional processing in eukaryotes rather than prokaryotes because of which of the following?
1. Eukaryotic mRNAs get 5' caps and 3' tails.
2. Prokaryotic genes are expressed as mRNA, which is more stable in the cell.
3. Eukaryotic exons may be spliced in alternative patterns.
4. Prokaryotes use ribosomes of different structure and size

The "universal" genetic code is now known to have exceptions. Evidence for this can be found if which of the following is true?
| 1. | If UGA, usually a stop codon, is found to code for an amino acid such as tryptophan (usually coded for by UGG only). |
| 2. | If one stop codon, such as UGA, is found to have a different effect on translation than another stop codon, such as UAA. |
| 3. | If prokaryotic organisms are able to translate a eukaryotic mRNA and produce the same polypeptide. |
| 4. | If several codons are found to translate to the same amino acid, such as serine. |
