Solution Summary

The solution discusses what the most likely sequence of the mRNA would be after the intron has been exercised in a chimpanzee.

Solution Preview

A typical intron has a GU at its 5' end and a AG at its 3' end.

Can we see these dinucleotide sequences in the ...

    After other modifications (like a methylated cap and poly-A tail), a mature mRNA is produced. In this entire process the introns that are in the primary transcript of RNA are simply extra material and are degraded.
