Removal of introns and joining the exons in a defined order in a transcription unit is called:

1. tailing
2. transformation
3. capping
4. splicing

Correct answer: splicing

Solution

Splicing is the post-transcriptional process that removes introns from a primary RNA transcript and joins exons together. This creates a mature mRNA ready for translation.
