Question

Removal of introns and joining of exons in defined order is called:

• A. Capping
• B. Tailing
• C. Splicing
• D. Blending

Hint:

Alternative splicing can generate different protein variants from a single gene, significantly increasing the diversity of proteins a cell can produce.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

RNA splicing is a post-transcriptional modification in eukaryotes where introns are removed and exons are connected in a pre-mRNA strand. 
This process is essential for converting pre-mRNA into mature mRNA that can be translated into proteins. Splicing is facilitated by the spliceosome, a complex made of proteins and small nuclear RNAs.
