The coding sequence in the DNA of __________ is normally continuous; that is,it is not interrupted by noncoding sequences.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prokaryotes have a relatively simple genome, with the coding sequence being continuous without any intervening noncoding sequences such as introns that are found in the genes of eukaryotes. In contrast, eukaryotic genes have introns and exons, with the introns being spliced out during mRNA processing, leading to a fragmentation of the coding sequence. Therefore, options B, C, and D can be ruled out as they all represent eukaryotic organisms that have interrupted coding sequences.
