Failure to remove introns from a primary mRNA would most likely cause
A) irregularities in transcription.
B) abnormal translation.
C) DNA to mutate.
D) DNA replication to fail.
E) transcription to terminate early. The exons of a eukaryotic primary mRNA contain the protein coding region of the gene, and thus the introns must be removed during primary mRNA splicing so that a usable message is obtained. If they are not removed, the protein that would result from translating the mRNA will be altered.

Failure to remove introns from a primary mRNA would lead to abnormal translation. Introns are non-coding regions of the gene and their presence in the mRNA would lead to the translation of non-functional or abnormal protein because introns do not contain the necessary information for protein synthesis.
