The statement that is true about exons and introns of pre-mRNA is:

  • Exons are expressed, and introns are removed.

What is pre-mRNA?

Precursor mRNA or pre-mRNA is the first transcript of a protein-coding gene.

Characteristics of pre-mRNA

  • Introns are the DNA or RNA sequences that separate the exons, the pre-mRNA regions corresponding to these are eliminated in the nucleus during the maturation process.

  • The exons of a gene are the sequences that will give the messenger RNA that will be translated into amino acids.

Therefore, we can conclude that the pre-mRNA maturation process removes introns and joins exons to produce a mature messenger RNA molecule.
