Can you please help answer this problem? I’m not sure which is the best answer?
**What are exons?** - Amino acid sequences that code for a functional protein - Sites where repressor proteins bind - Genetic information coding for an amino acid sequence that will form a protein - None of the answers are correct - Intervening non-coding segments of DNA **Explanation:** Exons are segments of DNA or RNA that contain information coding for a protein or peptide sequence. They are the portions of a gene that are expressed and translated into proteins. Unlike introns, exons are not spliced out during RNA processing. Instead, they are joined together to form a mature messenger RNA (mRNA) that directs the synthesis of proteins. The correct answer should describe exons as parts of a gene that carry the necessary information to produce proteins.
