Question

Define Introns in the context of eukaryotic split genes.

पर्याय

• Coding sequences that appear in the mature mRNA

• Sequences that bind to RNA polymerase

• Non-coding sequences that are removed during RNA processing; do not appear in mature mRNA

• Regulatory elements that initiate transcription

Answer 1

Introns are Intervening sequences that interrupt the coding sequence of eukaryotic genes. These non-coding regions are transcribed into the primary transcript but are removed during RNA splicing. Introns do not appear in the mature mRNA and are not translated into protein, though they may have regulatory functions.
