What is the name for the portion of mRNA that gets removed?One of the steps in this processing, called RNA splicing, involves the removal or "splicing out" of certain sequences referred to as intervening sequences, or introns. The final mRNA thus consists of the remaining sequences, called exons, which are connected to one another through the splicing process.
What is removed after transcription?After an RNA molecule has been transcribed, but prior to its departure from the nucleus to be translated, the RNA is processed and the introns are removed by splicing.
What is removed from an mRNA Strand before it is complete?At this point, at least in eukaryotes, the newly synthesized mRNA undergoes a process in which noncoding nucleotide sequences, called introns, are clipped out of the mRNA strand. This process "tidies up" the molecule and removes nucleotides that are not involved in protein production (Figure 6).
