Removal of introns and joining the exons in a defined order in a transcription unit is called :
  1. Capping
  2. Splicing
  3. Tailing
  4. Transformation

Solution

Splicing is the process during RNA processing where the non-coding regions called introns are removed from the pre-mRNA, and the coding regions called exons are joined together. This creates the mature mRNA that is ready for translation.
