4.1.7 Non-Coding DNA

Question 1

The genome within eukaryotic cells contains many

Answer 1

non-coding sections of DNA

Question 2

Non-coding DNA does not code for any

Answer 2

amino acids

Question 3

Non-coding DNA can be found

Answer 3

between genes

Question 4

Non-coding DNA can be found between genes, as

Answer 4

non-coding multiple repeats

Question 5

Non-coding DNA can be found between genes, as non-coding multiple repeats, this means they contain

Answer 5

the same base sequences repeated multiple times

Question 6

Non-coding DNA can also be found

Answer 6

within genes

Question 7

Non-coding DNA can also be found within genes, as

Answer 7

introns

Question 8

Non-coding DNA can also be found within genes, as introns, the coding what can be separated by one or more introns

Answer 8

exons

Question 9

During transcription, eukaryotic cells transcribe the whole gene (all introns and exons) to produce

Answer 9

pre-mRNA molecules

Question 10

Before the pre-mRNA exits the nucleus

Answer 10

the non-coding sections (introns) are removed

Question 11

Before the pre-mRNA exits the nucleus the non-coding sections (introns) are removed and the coding sections (exons) are

Answer 11

joined together

Question 12

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

Answer 12

splicing

Question 13

The RNA molecule produced from the transcription of a gene contains introns that must be removed before translation can occur
