Which of the following is a characteristic of RNA splicing in Eukaryotes? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following is a characteristic of RNA splicing in Eukaryotes? After splicing occurs, the U1, U2, U5, U6 snRNP complex removes remaining exons for degradation. It involves removal of introns from a gene sequence followed by transcription and subsequent splicing of exons. It involves recognition of sequence-specific intron/exon boundary sites by cytoplasmic proteins. Exon/intron boundaries are typically characterized by a 5' GU splice junction and a 3' AG splice junction.

Answer 1

Answer:

Exon/intron boundaries are typically characterized by a 5' GU splice junction and a 3' AG splice junction.

Explanation:

RNA splicing: is the process of removal of introns (non coding sequences) from RNA transcript  and the exons are joined together. This process occurs in the nucleus with the help of various enzymes,  splisosome ( spliceosome removes introns from  pre-mRNA).

RNA splicing occurs by recognizing Exon/intron boundaries, typically characterized by a 5' GU splice junction and a 3' AG splice junction. And then removing introns from these sequences.
