In the process of eukaryotic pre-mRNA splicing, how is the lariat intermediate formed?
a. By joining the 3' end of the intron to the 2' carbon of the branch site b. By joining the 5' end of exon 2 to the 2' carbon of the branch site
c. By joining the 5' end of the intron to the 2' carbon of the branch site d. By joining the 3' end of exon 1 to the 2'carbon of the branch site

Respuesta :

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The Eukaryotic pre-mRNA receives a 5' cap and 3'poly(A) tail before Introns are removed and the mRNA is considered ready for translation.
