Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Before the mRNA leaves the nuclues, the ____ are removed by a process called ____ The ____ are stitched back together to from a complete coding mRNA molecule.
A
introns, translation, exons
B
exons, transcription, introns
C
introns, transcription, exons
D
exons, translation, introns
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Most pre-mRNA molecules have sections that are removed from the molecule, called introns, and sections that are linked or together to make the final mRNA, called exons. This process is called splicing.

Detailed explanation-2: -Splicing removes introns from the protein-coding sequence of mRNA. Introns are regions that do not code for the protein.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of removing the introns and rejoining the coding sections or exons, of the mRNA, is called splicing. Once the mRNA has been capped, spliced and had a polyA tail added, it is sent from the nucleus into the cytoplasm for translation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Introns must be removed and exons ligated together to form a mature mRNA. This process, called pre-mRNA splicing, allows an additional layer of genetic complexity as alternative splicing of exons into the final mRNA can control transcript abundance and protein isoform production.

Detailed explanation-5: -Splicing is the process of removal of intron sequences and joining the exon sequences.
