A)protein that is clipped out posttranslationally
B)the transfer RNA tRNA)that binds to mRNA codon
C)DNA that is removed during DNA processing
D)RNA that is removed during RNA processing
E)the carbohydrate that serves as a signal for RNA transport

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An intron is a non-coding segment of RNA that is transcribed from DNA but then removed during RNA processing before the final mRNA molecule is produced. In other words, introns are sections of RNA that are removed during RNA splicing to generate the mature form of mRNA that will be translated into protein. The other answer choices are not accurate descriptions of introns.
