Eukаryоtic genes аre cоmpоsed of аlternating regions of exons and introns. Exons are expressed sequences that contribute to the final mRNA, whereas introns are intervening sequences that are removed during RNA processing. The removal of introns and joining of exons is achieved through RNA splicing, a critical step in the maturation of pre-mRNA into functional mRNA.RNA splicing is facilitated by the spliceosome, a large protein/RNA complex composed of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs), often referred to as "snurps." Each snRNP contains small nuclear RNA (snRNA) and several associated proteins. The spliceosome recognizes consensus sequences at the 5' and 3' splice sites of introns and catalyzes the removal of introns through a series of precise cuts and ligations. The excised intron forms a lariat structure, which is subsequently degraded, leaving a continuous sequence of exons in the mature mRNA.What is the mechanism and importance of RNA splicing in eukaryotic cells?

Does each variable increase or decrease Stroke Risk? Determine whether each variable is significant (α=.05), and explain why or why not? Do NOT worry about formal interpretation or t-tests; just indicate whether each variable seems to increase/decrease Stroke Risk, whether each is significant or not, and how you determined the significance of each.
