Does the statement (featured in my biology book titled BIOLOGY 5TH EDITION 
by CAMPBELL, MITCHELL AND REECE),"Moreover a number of genes are known to 
give rise to two or more different proteins, depending on which segments 
are treated as exons during RNA processing",contradict that of Tatum's and 
Beadle's ONE GENE - ONE PROTEIN theory/hypothesis?
   *My teacher brought this information to my attention today and she told 
us to locate the answer our selves by going on one of these ask a 
scientist websites. Please respond as soon as possible. Thank you. Heather
