Determine whether the following statement is true or false: Because introns are largely genetic junk, they do not need to be removed with any degree of precision during RNA splicing.

False

Explanation:

Introns need to be removed precisely because the reading frame will be shifted if removed even single nucleotide too many or leaving an intronic nucleotide in the spliced mRNA .

Extra amino acids will be inserted if large pieces of introns are left in the mature messenger RNA.

In both cases, aberrant protien will be produced if the RNA splicing is not precise, hence they are needed to be removed by precision.

small, big, or no change could occur in the phenotype. it could cause something as simple as a cats ears to curl backwards or something as frighting as death. it could also occur in the protien-coding area and have an effect on that but no effect on the amino acids. what has to occur is a changing in the hox gene or the control gene.
