Exons are part of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic.

Introns are rarely present in the domain bacteria (common bacteria) while introns are present in some genes in domain archaea ("ancient" bacteria). Both are considered prokaryotic. No, they are only present on tRNA and rRNA.

Exons and introns are part of the mRNA. During transcription inside the nucleus, introns are removed from the mRNA because they are not coded to make a protein. Exons are then joined together because that is the part required for translation.

After exons are joined together and introns are taken out, the mRNA is then attached to the poly(A) tail in the 3' end and 5' cap in the 5' end. The finished mRNA is ready to be translated.

Exons are the coding regions which bear codons, each codon representing one amino acid. Thus exons are directly responsible for the amino acid sequence of the proteins.

Introns are intervening sequences and bear no coding regions and cannot influence the protein sequence.

Where does RNA and protein synthesis take place in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

In prokaryotes, RNA synthesis and protein synthesis takes place in the cytoplasm. In eukaryotes, RNA is produced in the cells nucleus and then moves to the cytoplasm to play a role in the production of protein.


What is the role of introns in gene regulation?

Introns are removed through RNA splicing. They don't play a role.


What role does transcription play in protein systhesis?

Transcription is the process by which DNA is copied (transcribed) to mRNA, which carries the information needed for protein synthesis.


What role does the nucleus play in protein synthesis?

nucleus contains a DNA which undergoes processes such as transription and translation forming a sequence of aminoacids which produces a protein


What role do each of the cell components play in the cell?

the nucleus is the brain of the cell, where protein synthesis begins. endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus are for protein synthesis. the mitochondria gathers energy for the cell the cell membrane allows waste out and nutrients in


What role does peptide bond play in protein synthesis?

Although rRNA is paramount in the process of translation, protein factors also are required for the efficient synthesis of a protein. Protein factors participate in the initiation, elongation, and termination of protein synthesis. P-loop NTPases of the G-protein family play particularly important roles. Recall that these proteins serve as molecular switches as they cycle between a GTP-bound form and a GDP-bound form.


Does the cell structure Ribosome play a roles in protein synthesis?

Yes, it separates into subunits which can later be reassembled for protein synthesis.

What role do genes play in protein sythesis?

Genes are the basic unit of protein production in the genetic code. They play a role as the primary protein synthesis unit since, according to classic genetics, a gene encodes a protein product. Although the reality is more complicated, the basic concept is true enough.
