Once synthesized, the ________ of mRNA are removed through ________, which results in the formation of the coding sequence of a protein.
A) exon, RNA interference
B) exon, alternative splicing
C) intron, RNA interference
D) intron, alternative splicing

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In eukaryotic mRNA, introns are the non-coding regions that interrupt the coding sequence (exons). These introns are removed through a process called alternative splicing, which results in the final mature mRNA containing only the coding exons. RNA interference, on the other hand, is a mechanism that targets and degrades specific mRNA molecules, but it does not play a role in removing introns. Therefore, the correct choice is D, intron, alternative splicing.
