Solution
The correct option is C Splicing Splicing: It is the process of removal of introns (non coding nucleic acid region) and joining together of exons (coding nucleic acid region). The removal of introns from the primary transcript of a discontinuous gene takes place during the process of transcription.
Transcription: It is the process of making an RNA copy of a gene sequence.
Cloning: It is the process of generating a genetically identical copy of a cell or an organism.
DNA amplification: The production of multiple copies of a sequence of DNA is called DNA amplification.
