Question

why is this processing of ribosomal rna in eukaryotes called Cleavage but not splicing? ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Why is this called cleavage or processing but not splicing? Figure 14.16 The processing of ribosomal RNA in eukaryotes. The large ribosomal RNA gene is transcribed into a long 45S rRNA primary transcript. ... It undergoes cleavage at various positions to produce 18S, 28S, and 5.8S rRNA molecules.
