To review:
The difference between introns and exons.
Introduction:
In the process of transcription, the information carried by the DNA is copied in the form of RNA (m-RNA) into the nucleus. The mRNA formed in this process is transported into the cytoplasm of the cell where it is translated into the protein followed by a series of steps. Translation is the process of decoding the instructions given in the form of triplet codon (Three
