Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Statement A is correct and B is wrong.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(C) Statement A is correct and B is wrong.,
The RNA produced during transcription in eukaryotic cells undergoes processing (including capping, polyadenylation, and splicing) before it can be used in translation. It is not used directly in processes like photosynthesis. RNA splicing involves the removal of introns (not exons) from the primary RNA transcript to produce mature mRNA. Exons are the coding sequences that remain in the mature mRNA.
