The sections of a gene that contain the coding sequences for the final protein product are:
A) Exons
B) Introns
C) UTRs
D) Nucleosomes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exons are the sections of a gene that contain the coding sequences for the final protein product. Introns are the non-coding sections that must be removed in order for the final mRNA to be translated into a functional protein. UTRs (untranslated regions) are found at the beginning and end of the mRNA molecule and play a role in regulating gene expression. Nucleosomes are the basic units of DNA packaging in eukaryotic cells.
