Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Spilt
Genes that have protein coding information interrupted by other sequences are split genes. The protein coding sequences are exons and the interrupting sequences are introns. Eukaryotic genes have protein coding exons and interrupting introns which means that they are split genes. Genes that have only protein coding regions are called continuous genes which are present in prokaryotes. Overlapping genes are the one in which protein coding sequences are shared by more than two genes; they are present in phage 174, E. coli, etc. Eukaryotic protein coding sequences are non-overlapping. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
