7
Q
Introns
A
Will be spliced out and removed
8
Q
Exons
A
Sequences present in the mRNA
9
Q
Explain what happens during the splicing process
A
coding-regions of mRNA (exons) are kept and non-coding regions of mRNA (introns) are cut out and removed
10
Q
Explain what happens during alternative splicing
A
exons from the same gene are joined in different combinations, leading to different, but related, mRNA transcripts
