Question
Chapter 3.9, Problem 63AYP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The terms exons and introns and their relation to pre-mRNA and posttranscriptional processing.
Introduction:
Before the pre-mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) exits the nucleus, it experiences several modifications known as posttranscriptional processing.
