A) It is the transportation of amino acids to the site of protein synthesis.
B) It is the removal of introns and the joining of exons in mRNA after transcription.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Splicing is the process of removing introns and joining exons in mRNA after transcription. This results in mature mRNA that can be translated into a protein. A is incorrect because transportation of amino acids occurs during translation, not splicing. C is incorrect because protein formation occurs during translation, not splicing. D is incorrect because splicing does not involve the conversion of chromosomes into chromatin.
