What would happen if introns were not removed during RNA processing?

Group of answer choices

Translation would not begin

The protein would be the same but much less would be made

The protein would be incorrect and the protein might not function

Nothing would happen because introns are just extra sequences

    The protein would be incorrect and the protein might not function.

    Explanation:

    We know that introns carry information but introns not only carry information to build a protein. They have to be removed for the mRNA to encode a protein with the right protein sequence.

    If the spliceosome fails to remove an intron, an mRNA with extra "junk" will be created in it. As a result, a wrong protein will be created during translation.

    If a wrong protein sequence is created, it will hamper the whole translation process. The protein won't function properly.
