I say false @shrutipande9

@butterflydreamer

nottim · Answer

Why is that?

anonymous · Answer

what?

nottim · Answer

Why do you think it is false that introns are edited out of the mRNA at the ribosomes?

anonymous · Answer

I havent really heard anything about introns

nottim · Answer

Let's take this step by step. What are introns?

anonymous · Answer

a segment of a DNA or RNA molecule that does not code for proteins and interrupts the sequence of genes.

nottim · Answer

Alright, and what (if anything) does mRNA do at the ribosomes?

anonymous · Answer

a mrna sequence is read using a genetic code

nottim · Answer

Where is the mRNA sequence read?

nottim · Answer

And where does transcription, translation, etc occur?

anonymous · Answer

initiation, elongation, and termination.

nottim · Answer

Where does this occur?

anonymous · Answer

the site im looking at doesnt say

anonymous · Answer

The ribosome has a small and a large subunit and is a complex molecule composed of several ribosomal RNA molecules and a number of proteins. Translation of an mRNA molecule by the ribosome occurs in three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination

anonymous · Answer

thats what it says in part of it

shrutipande9 · Answer

there are 2 parts in genome..one are exons..which actually code for proteins..and the other are introns which do not code for anything....so the non coding introns are removed or spliced before the mrna is being translated  by ribosomes

anonymous · Answer

so the answer is true. Thanks for not making me write you an essay like the other guy lol

anonymous · Answer

not trying to be mean js

shrutipande9 · Answer

lol...i think before answering these questions..read what is given to u first

shrutipande9 · Answer

i know tim...u were doing the right thing..sorry to have interrupted.:)

anonymous · Answer

i did i read the whole article but i didnt wanna have to write an essay

nottim · Answer

Pah. undergrad bio, every lab has a report.

nottim · Answer

But good luck with it all.

anonymous · Answer

anyways , @shrutipande9 and intrains be spliced during mrna?

anonymous · Answer

can*

anonymous · Answer

introns*

shrutipande9 · Answer

once mrna is synthesized introns are spliced

anonymous · Answer

so no?
