(b) Name and explain the process the RNA molecule transcribed from 8000 nucleotide long DNA undergoes to be able to translate a polypeptide of 400 amino acids.
Show Hint
Splicing is essential in eukaryotes for producing functional mRNA.
Process: Splicing.
Explanation: Splicing removes noncoding introns from pre-mRNA, retaining coding exons to create mature mRNA. This process yields the correct sequence for translation into a 400 amino acid polypeptide.
