Question:
Name and explain the process the RNA molecule transcribed from 8000 nucleotide-long DNA undergoes to be able to translate a polypeptide of 400 amino acids.
Name and explain the process the RNA molecule transcribed from 8000 nucleotide-long DNA undergoes to be able to translate a polypeptide of 400 amino acids.
Show Hint
Splicing ensures the formation of functional mRNA by removing non-coding sequences, enabling accurate translation.

Solution and Explanation
Process: Splicing.
Explanation:
The pre-mRNA transcribed from DNA contains both coding (exons) and non-coding (introns) regions.
During splicing, introns are removed, and exons are joined to form a mature mRNA, which is translated into a protein.
