Eukaryotic genes are monocistronic but they are split genes because
- A Introns are interrupted with Mutons.
- B they contain Exons only.
- C they contain Introns only
- D Exons are interrupted by Introns.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Exons are interrupted by Introns.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(D) Exons are interrupted by Introns.,
In eukaryotes, the monocistronic structural genes have interrupted coding sequences the genes in eukaryotes are split. The coding sequences or expressed sequences are defined as exons. Exons are said to be those sequence that appear in mature or processed RNA. The exons are interrupted by introns.
