With regard to mature mRNA in eukaryotes

A

Exons and introns do not appear in the mature RNA

B

Exons appear but introns do not appear in the mature RNA

C

Introns appear but exons do not appear in the mature RNA

D

Both exons and intorns appear in the mature RNA

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Eukaryotic mRNA need post transcription modification i.e. splicing , capping and polyadenylation Eukaryotic mRNA consist of exons (part of RNA that code for proteins) and introns (non coded part of mRNA)
Splicing involves the removal of introns and joining of exons
