Introns & exons

  • The genome within eukaryotic cells contains many non-coding sections of DNA

  • Non-coding DNA can be found between genes, as non-coding multiple repeats

    • This means they contain the same base sequences repeated multiple times

  • Non-coding DNA can also be found within genes, as introns. These sit in between coding regions called exons

  • During transcription, eukaryotic cells transcribe the whole gene (all introns and exons) to produce pre-mRNA molecules

  • Before the pre-mRNA exits the nucleus, the non-coding sections (introns) are removed, and the coding sections (exons) are joined together in a process called splicing

_Post-transcriptional modification of RNA, downloadable AS & A Level Biology revision notes
The RNA molecule produced from the transcription of a gene contains introns that must be removed before translation can occur.
