1
New cards

what are introns?

regions in the DNA/mRNA which do not code for proteins

2
New cards

what is done to the introns in the pre-mRNA?

it must be spliced out the mRNA to produce functional proteins

3
New cards

what are exons?

the regions in the DNA/mRNA which do code for proteins

4
New cards

what is a spliceosome?

a molecule which removes the introns from mRNA

5
New cards

what is mature mRNA?

mRNA which only contains the exons

6
New cards

what happens once the mRNA is mature?

it leaves the nucleus through a nuclear pore and attaches to a ribosome
