No, prokaryotes do not have introns, and therefore do not do RNA processing. However, eukaryotes do.

Operons do not have introns. The activity of an intoron occurs in a complex DNA structure not in the area of an operons which leaves no room for them.

When was Introns - album - created?

Why are introns copied and then removed from the RNA sequence?

Introns were copied and then removed from the RNA sequence because they were placeholders.


What is the role of introns in gene regulation?

Introns are removed through RNA splicing. They don't play a role.


What is DNA in the mitochondria?

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)is DNA found within a sub-cellular organelle called the mitochondrion. Interestingly, mitochondrial DNA is present as a loop, much like the bacterial genome. In addition, mtDNA does not contain any introns or non-coding sequences. mtDNA codes for proteins involved in the process of oxidative phosphorylation


What is the common characteristics among eubacteria?

- unicellular prokaryotes - cell walls contain peptidoglycan - genes lack introns - reproduce asexually by binary - either autotrophic or heterotrophic - extremely diversified groups - certain types may be ancestors of mitochondria


Why do the introns have to br removed?

Introns are the non-coding parts of the gene. If you didn't remove introns, the wrong protein may be produced because they allow more than one protein to be produced from a single gene.


Which one exons or introns is spliced out when primary RNA is processed?

The introns are the sections which are spliced out to create the mature form of mRNA.


What is the small pieces of DNA that are edited out of the mRNA message before it is expressed?

During the transcription, when the mRNA is being processed, the introns are removed and the exons are connected together.


What are non-coding segments of DNA?

this is the correct answer i promise exonsIt's right ^^ It's not introns because introns do not code.


What happens to the introns and exons during transcription?

After transcription, the mRNA is processed by the spliceosome, which splices out the introns (because introns are not part of the coding sequences for protein), and "stitches" the exons together to form the final transcript that is sent to the ribosome for translation.


What is the action of a spliceosome?

snip out introns from mRNA.


What portions of RNA cut out and discard?
