Solution
The correct option is B Intron
- The protein coding part of eukaryotic DNA is the exon while the gene sequences that are present between exons and do not code for any protein product are called introns.
- Each exon carries a part of the reading frame and thus carries information of a part of the encoded polypeptide, which means that it is both transcribed and translated.
- Introns of the transcript are removed by splicing to produce functional mRNA which means that introns are transcribed but not translated.
Thus, the correct answer is B.
