Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exons only are the protein-coding regions of DNA molecules. In contrast, introns are non-coding regions of DNA that are transcribed into RNA but are removed during RNA processing, and anticodons are specific sequences of nucleotides that are part of transfer RNA and help to translate genetic information into proteins. Transcriptons is not a term used in biology.
