What are the regions of DNA called that code for protein?

The coding regions of many eukaryotic genes are interrupted by non-coding sequences known as INTRONS. They are stretches of DNA whose transcripts are absent from mature mRNA product.


What are The regions of the gene that are eliminated are called?

During mRNA processing, non-coding regions of the transcript are spliced out. These regions are called introns. Coding regions are called exons.


Which has more mutation coding or non-coding genes?

First of all a gene by definition codes for something so there is no such thing as a "non coding gene". To your question non-coding DNA is no more prone to mutation. A mutation in a non-coding region is far more likely to passed onto offspring because a mutation has no effect on the organism that gets it. A mutation in a gene is more likely to be bad thing than beneficial. So over time (many generations) there are more differences in non coding regions of DNA between individuals. This why DNA fingerprinting looks at differences in non coding regions between people to find unique profiles.


When you read a DNA sequencing gel from the bottom to the top is what you read called the coding strand or the non-coding strand?

The result you get from reading the gel from the bottom up is called the anti-coding (or non-coding strand).


What is the difference between coding DNA and junk DNA?

Junk DNA is non-coding DNA it does not code for protein.


What are regions of the chromosome with few functional genes called?

Regions of the chromosome with few functional genes are called gene deserts or gene-poor regions. These regions typically have a lower density of genes compared to other parts of the chromosome, and are often associated with non-coding DNA or regulatory elements.


Why do forensic labs analyze non-coding DNA and not genes?

Coding DNA or exons are varying among individuals. But non-coding DNA doesn't vary among individuals and they don't carry information about gene expression patterns. Therefore, non-coding DNA is used in forensic analyses.


What are the unexpressed non-coding regions of eukaryotic genes called?

An intron is a non-coding section of a gene. This is spliced out before the creation of the final mRNA.


What does it meant by 'addition' in recombinant DNA?

Addition in recombinant DNA means to remove non coding or non functional DNA and inserting the functional or coding seuence.


What is the technique that identifies and replicates the non-coding gene sequences in a strand of DNA?

DNA fingerprinting identifies and replicates the non-coding gene sequences.


What are internal non coding regions of RNA called?

Internal noncoding regions of RNA are called introns. They are segments of an RNA molecule that interrupt the sequence of genes.


What is the name for a stretch of non coding DNA that interrupts the coding sequence of a gene?

introns
