Removal of introns and joining of exons in a defined order during transcription is called
A
Splicing
B
Looping
C
Inducing
D
Slicing
Detailed Solution
In eukaryotes the primary transcript (hnRNA) contains both exons (coding) and introns (non-coding).
The introns are removed and the exons are joined in a defined order. This process is called splicing.
Along with capping and tailing, splicing converts hnRNA into functional mRNA.
