DNA, RNA, and Protein Synthesis - Part 6

Question 1

There are introns and exons in RNA - what are exons:

Answer 1

The sequences of nitrogen bases that are involved in the making of the protein

Question 2

Basically RNA processing and editing following transcription is:

Answer 2

The introns are cut out and the remaining exons are spliced back together - and a cap and tail are added

Question 3

Relevance of cap and tail in the RNA processing following transcription:

Answer 3

Help the ribosome identify the start and end

Question 4

After transcription of RNA what happens:

Answer 4

The RNA is modified (polished) and the introns are cut out
