sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Control of both RNA splicing and chromatin remodeling control of RNA splicing.

Explanation:

RNA is present as genetic material but in case of some viruses only. RNA contains the nitrogenous base ( adenine, guanine, uracil and cytosine), oxyribose sugar and phosphate group.

The bacteria do not have well developed nucleus so no chromatin remodification occurs in case of bacteria. Bacteria is devoid of introns and contains only exons in its RNA structure. The splicing process is not required in case of bacteria.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
