Question

What are exons?

Answer 1

Exons:

1. After introns have been eliminated by RNA splicing, an exon is any component of a gene that will constitute a part of the final mature RNA generated by that gene.
2. Both the DNA sequence within a gene and the matching sequence in RNA transcripts are referred to as exons.
3. Introns are deleted, and exons are covalently linked to one another during RNA splicing to produce mature RNA.
4. The exome is made up of all the exons in a species, much like the genome is made up of all the genes.
