Question

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given :
RNA processing is

• A. the rejection of old, worn-out RNA
• B. an event that occurs after RNA is transcribed
• C. the same as transcription
• D. pertains to function of tRNA during protein synthesis

Answer 1

The correct option is B an event that occurs after RNA is transcribed

RNA processing involves post-transcriptional modifications. After the formation of mRNA, this structure contains large regions of introns which are spliced off. This process is called RNA splicing. It is the process by which introns, regions of RNA that do not code for proteins are removed from pre mRNA and the remaining exons are connected to reform a continuous molecule.

So, the correct option is 'an event that occurs after RNA is transcribed'.
