Answer:

Splicing of exons and exclusion of introns

-mRNA that is transcribed from DNA usually has large regions of genetic code that just do not code for anything. This is a pretty conserved phenomenon among eukaryotes, to have meaningless sequences of DNA (introns) separating the meaningful sequences of DNA (exons). Introns must be spliced out of mRNA so that its translation leads to a functional protein.

Step-by-step explanation:

Describe the modification of FGF5 pre-mRNA that leads to the production of both the FGF5-L and FGF5-S proteins.
