The regions in a newly copied strand of mRNA that code for proteins are called what?
a
introns
b
amino acids
c
exons
d
molecules
1 answer
The correct answer is c) exons. Exons are the regions of a gene that contain the coding sequences for proteins. They are transcribed into pre-mRNA and then spliced together to form the mature mRNA molecule, which is then translated into proteins.
