An intron is a segment of RNA found in pre-messengerRNA (pre-mRNA) molecules. It must be removed to makethe mRNA molecule functional. Some introns are capableof catalyzing the reaction that removes them from largerRNA molecules.What is the intron acting as in this scenario?OA. A lipidB. A membraneOC. An enzymeOD. A carbohydrate
If the intron is capable of catalyzing the reaction that removes introns from larger RNA molecules, that intron is acting as an enzyme (c). That's because enzymes are the type of molecules capable of catalyzing reactions.
