Question
Chapter 12, Problem 1COQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason for presence of both protein and RNA components in some complexes like spliceosomes and ribosomes
Introduction: The gene expression is a highly complex but coordinated process. The gene expression involves splicing mechanism in the eukaryotes. The splicing of pre-mRNA and translation of protein from mRNA needs complexes that can facilitate these complex processes.
