What is the primary difference between pre-RNA and mature RNA?
What is the primary difference between pre-RNA and mature RNA?
- Pre-RNA is translated directly into proteins, while mature RNA undergoes splicing
- Pre-RNA is only found in the nucleus, while mature RNA is found in the cytoplasm
- Pre-RNA contains introns, while mature RNA has the introns removed (correct)
- Pre-RNA is single-stranded, while mature RNA is double-stranded
What happens to introns during the transition from pre-RNA to mature RNA?
What happens to introns during the transition from pre-RNA to mature RNA?
- They are added to the mature RNA sequence
- They are duplicated
- They are translated into proteins
- They are spliced out (correct)
Where is pre-RNA primarily located within the cell?
Where is pre-RNA primarily located within the cell?
- Cytoplasm
- Endoplasmic reticulum
- Mitochondria
- Nucleus (correct)
