Why Are Introns Removed From The Primary Transcript?

by

Why Are Introns Removed From The Primary Transcript? Splicing of eukaryotic primary RNA transcripts removes the introns, leaving the exons connected together in a functional message. Primary transcripts are also called heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA), since they contain from zero to as many as 50 introns of variable length. What happens to introns during splicing?
