Question

Describe what RNA splicing is and how it explains that the

humangenome can be approximately the same size as a far
simplerorganism.

Answer 1

RNA splicing is the intron removal and exon binding in the mRNA before leaving the nucleus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternative splicing of identical RNA transcripts into different cell types can produce different mature mRNA molecules that translate into different polypeptides.

The genetic information encoded in the AND is transcribed to a copy of RNA (primary transcript). This copy is then modified with the addition of the 5 ’cap (CAP) and the poly-A tail, the excision of the introns and the union of the exons (splicing). The mature mRNA then goes to the cytoplasm, where it is translated into proteins.
