What is the primary transcript of eukaryotic genes?
the primary transcript usually has a exons and introns which need to undergo splicing to remove the introns and re-splicing to join the exons ..after this process the resulting mRNA is a mature mRNA.
Are intron transcribed into the primary transcript?
No. The introns must be cut out of RNA before transcription. This is because a ribosome cannot read introns, and can only read axons. They are cut out and the axons are attached together to go through ribosome.
What is the function of the spliceosome?
In eukaryotic organisms, genes consist of exons and introns. Exons are regions that are transcribed into mature messenger RNA, and eventually translated into protein. Interspersed within the exons are introns, regions of non-coding DNA. Introns must be removed from the initial transcript of mRNA before the final mature transcript is sent to the ribosome for translation into protein. This removal is done in a coimplex protein structure called the spliceosome. The spliceosome splices out the non-coding introns from the primary mRNA transcript, and stiches the exons back together into the mature mRNA transcript.
What are exons and introns?
Intronsare intervening sequence of DNA; does NOT code for a protein.Exons are expressed squence of DNA; codes for a protein.
What is the first step in the processing of the primary transcript of mRNA?
First, enzymes attach to a cap of chemically modified guanine nucleotides to the starting end of the mRNA molecule. Then, other enzymes replace part of the opposite end with a tail of 100-200 adenine nucleotides. This addition is called a poly-A-tail. Finally, internal segments that do not code for protein are removed. These are called introns. The parts of the transcript that remain are called exons. Hope that helps!

Why would a prokaryote fail to express a transplanted eukaryotic gene?
The biggest obstacle to expressing eukaryotic genes in prokaryotes is their structure. Eukaryotic genes have non-coding introns inserted between the coding exons, and these introns must be spliced out of the primary mRNA transcript before translation can proceed. The splicing is done by the spliceosome, a large, complex of RNA and protein. Prokaryotes do not have spliceosomes, thus eukaryotic genes would be transcribed with the introns intact, and translation by the ribosome would proceed on the primary mRNA transcript, resulting in non-functional proteins.
Which one exons or introns is spliced out when primary RNA is processed?
The introns are the sections which are spliced out to create the mature form of mRNA.

What does failure to remove introns from a primary mRNA most likely cause?
DNA to mutate.
What makes premature mrna and mature mrna different?
The first (primary) transcript from a protein coding gene is often called a pre-mRNA and contains both introns and exons. Pre-mRNA requires splicing (removal) of introns to produce the final mRNA molecule containing only exons
Are both intron and exon regions are transcribed into the primary transcript?
yes
What is the used of cutting pliers?
Their primary purpose is for cutting wires and twisting them together.
In eukaryotic cells the mRNA is processed and migrates from the to the .?
The mRNA produced by transcription is similar to a rough cut of a film that needs a bit of editing. A specialized nucleotide is added to the beggining of each mRNA molecule, which forms a cap. It helps the mRNA starand bind to a ribosome and prevents the strand from being broken down to fast. The end of the mRNA molecule gets a string of A nucleotides, called the tail, that helps the mRNA molecule exit the nucleus.
