Zoology - Molecular Basis of Inheritance Question with Solution | TestHub
Compare the statements A and B.
Statements A: RNA produced during transcription in eukaryotic cells cannot be straight away used in photosynthesis.
Statement B: RNA splicing phenomena help in the removal of exons.
Choose the correct description.
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
In eukaryotic cells, RNA is produced by transcription and processed before getting transported to the cytoplasm where they are used as a template for protein synthesis. RNAs do not play a role in photosynthesis.
Eukaryotic mRNA requires processing to become active since in eukaryotes the genes have interrupted coding sequences called introns. It occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and involves removal of the non-coding stretches (introns) and splicing together of the discontinuous coding sequences (exons).
