Question

What occurs during splicing?

Answer 1

Splicing:

1. The primary transcript of RNA undergoes splicing, by which the exons are joined together and introns are removed.
2. Splicing happens during protein synthesis, it involves cutting out and rearranging sections of mRNA.
3. During splicing, some sections of RNA transcript (introns) are removed, and the remaining sections (exons) are stuck back together.
4. Some genes are alternatively spliced.
5. It leads to the production of mature and different mRNA molecules from the same initial transcript.
