Q792
Self splicing introns are found in
A.
tRNA genes
B.
rRNA genes
AnswerC.
Structural genes
D.
All of these
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Self-splicing introns are found in rRNA genes.Self-splicing occurs for rare introns that form a ribozyme, performing the functions of the spliceosome by RNA alone.
The Tetrahymena pre-rRNA self-splicing intron is shown to function in the unnatural context of an mRNA transcribed by RNA polymerase II in mammalian cells.
