Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Removal of introns and joining of exons in a defined order in a transcription unit is called
A
Tailing
B
Transformation
C
Capping
D
Splicing
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct option is A Splicing. Splicing is the process of removal of intron sequences and joining the exon sequences.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: Removal of introns and joining the exons in a defined order in a transcription unit is called splicing.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘Splicing’

Detailed explanation-4: -One of the steps in this processing, called RNA splicing, involves the removal or “splicing out” of certain sequences referred to as intervening sequences, or introns. The final mRNA thus consists of the remaining sequences, called exons, which are connected to one another through the splicing process.

Detailed explanation-5: -The process of removing the introns and rejoining the coding sections or exons, of the mRNA, is called splicing.
