miRNA can be made from particular introns that have been removed from pre-mRNA.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

miRNA can be produced from introns of pre-mRNA during the splicing process, where the introns are excised and degraded, and the exons are spliced together to form the mature mRNA. Some introns are able to fold into hairpin structures that can be recognized and processed by the enzyme Dicer to produce miRNA molecules. Therefore, miRNA can be made from particular introns that have been removed from pre-mRNA.
