(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine:  Whether snRNA (small nuclear ribose nucleic acid) used in the splicing process is a protein, RNA, or both.

Introduction: Splicing is a mechanism in which processing of primary transcripts of RNA (Ribose nucleic acid) takes place. In this process, introns (non-coding regions) are spliced out from primary transcripts by cleavage at some conserved sequences that are called splice sites.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether spliceosome used in the splicing process is a protein, RNA, or both.

Introduction: Splicing is a mechanism in which processing of primary transcripts of RNA (Ribose nucleic acid) takes place. In this process, introns (non-coding regions) are spliced out from primary transcripts by cleavage at some conserved sequences that are called splice sites.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether snRNP (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein) used in the splicing process is a protein, RNA, or both.

Introduction: Splicing is a mechanism in which processing of primary transcripts of RNA (Ribose nucleic acid) takes place. In this process, introns (non-coding regions) are spliced out from primary transcripts by cleavage at some conserved sequences that are called splice sites.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether splice sites used in the splicing process is a protein, RNA, or both.

Introduction: Splicing is a mechanism in which processing of primary transcripts of RNA (Ribose nucleic acid) takes place. In this process, introns (non-coding regions) are spliced out from primary transcripts by cleavage at some conserved sequences that are called splice sites.

(e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether lariat used in the splicing process is a protein, RNA, or both.

Introduction: Splicing is a mechanism in which processing of primary transcripts of RNA (Ribose nucleic acid) takes place. In this process, introns (non-coding regions) are spliced out from primary transcripts by cleavage at some conserved sequences that are called splice sites.
