**Question 13**

*Which region(s) of the DNA are found in the final protein?*

- ○ Introns
- ○ Exons
- ○ UTRs
- ○ poly-A tail
- ○ introns and exons

---

In the context of gene expression, it's crucial to differentiate between various regions of DNA. Here’s a brief explanation:

- **Introns:** Non-coding sections of DNA, which are removed during RNA processing.
- **Exons:** Coding sections of DNA, which remain in mRNA and are translated into protein.
- **UTRs (Untranslated Regions):** Sequences in mRNA that are not translated into protein but play roles in translation and stability.
- **poly-A tail:** A sequence of adenine nucleotides added to mRNA for stability and export from the nucleus.
- **introns and exons:** Refers to both coding and non-coding regions, but only exons are present in the final protein after processing.
