Spliceosomes are not found in cells of:
Correct answer: C. Bacteria
- A. Fungi
- B. Animals
- C. Bacteria
- D. Plants
Explanation
Spliceosomes help in the removal of introns. They will not occur in prokaryotes because prokaryotes do not have introns and thus, processing does not require splicing of mRNA. Spliceosomes are complex molecular machines found only in eukaryotic cells, including those of humans and other multicellular organisms. They are responsible for a crucial process in gene expression called RNA splicing.

About Chromosomes
Chromosomes are DNA-protein structures that carry genes and become visible during cell division. Coverage includes chromatin, centromeres, sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, chromosome number, and the distinction between diploid and haploid cells, with links to DNA replication, mitosis and meiosis.
