Chapter 26, Problem 8P

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason for blockage of $\text{rRNA}$ modification reactions if the $\text{mRNA}$ splicing in a vertebrate cell is blocked.

Introduction:

RNAs are transcribed from the DNA by the process known as transcription. RNA is modified in a process called RNA processing by several ways. The RNA is transported out from the nucleus, and is then converted into protein. The processes that are involved in modification are splicing, addition of poly A tail, and additions of caps.
