Question

Q1: In your own words, define RNA splicing. When during gene expression does it occur? Q2: What do you predict would happen if the introns were not removed from RNA before translation? Why would it be a problem if the introns were not removed? Q3: Where is the mRNA destined to go once it has been transported out of the nucleus?
