Splicing is

B) the processing of a primary mRNA transcript to remove exons.
C) the DNA directed copying of an open reading frame to produce an mRNA.
D) the translocation of the mature mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm for protein synthesis.
E) the process by which the open reading frame of a gene is transcribed into an mRNA.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Splicing is the process by which introns, or non-coding regions, are removed from a primary mRNA transcript, leaving only the exons, or coding regions, which are then joined together to form the mature mRNA molecule that can be translated into a protein.
