Question

Name the type of intron which needs spliceosomes to be spliced?

(a) Group I intron

(b) Group IV intron

(c) Nuclear intron

(d) Group II intron

I had been asked this question at a job interview.

I need to ask this question from RNA Processing topic in chapter Molecular Genetics of Life Sciences

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) Nuclear intron

The best explanation: The nuclear intron is the most common introns in nuclear mRNA. They need SnRNP supramolecular structure to be spliced. The supramolecular structure is called spliceosome.
