Monocistronic structural genes in eukaryotes have interrupted coding sequences, Explain. How are they different in prokaryotes? |
|
Answer» In eukaryotes, the hnRNA (primary transcript of mRNA) has coding sequences, 2 called exons as well as non-coding sequences, called introns, i.e., the information is split- If undergoes a process, called splicing, in which the introns are remove and the exons are joined together in a particular manner, to form the functional mRNA.- In prokaryotes, the mRNA is polycistronic, i.e., codes for more than one polypeptide.- The information is continuous and no splicing is required. |
