What else can I help you with?
Do exons contain noncoding DNA?
Exons are the portions of a gene that code for the final protein product and typically do not contain noncoding DNA. Noncoding DNA is more commonly found in introns, which are the intervening sequences between exons.
What are the non coding regions of DNA called?
Exons.
Which regions of DNA are transcribed to RNA and then translated to form a polypeptide?
The regions of DNA that are transcribed to RNA are called exons. These exons will then be spliced together to form messenger RNA (mRNA), which will be translated into a polypeptide. Introns are the non-coding regions of DNA that are removed during the splicing process and are not translated into protein.
What is the difference between exons and introns?
Exons are the DNA sequences that code for proteins. Introns are involved however they dont carry the genetic information that exons carry, the variation provides for revolutionary flexibility allowing cells to shuffle exons between genes to make new ones. A great way to remember which is which is Exons (sounds like Executives, like in a business) have the information and introns (sounds like the interns of a business) dont know anything; exons and inrons, executives and interns. Easy huh?
What do you call a short piece of DNA that codes for a certain protein?
DNA does not make proteins directly. Rather, the DNA is the mother-of-all recipes that specialized transcription proteins (tRNA) read to make messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA is the specific recipe to make specific proteins. The specific code of DNA are made of regions called introns and exons. Exons are what the gene has coded for and introns are "spacers". I remember exons are exactly what is needed and introns are intervening sequences.
What are the coding segments of a stretch of eukaryotic DNA?
Exons

What is the difference between an intron and exon?
Introns are non-coding segments of DNA that are removed during RNA processing, while exons are coding regions that are spliced together to form the final mRNA transcript. Exons contain the information needed to produce proteins, while introns do not.
Are sense regions for of DNA introns and nonsense regions exons?
yup

In eukaryotes only exons are translated?
Correct. The mRNA transcibed from the DNA in the nucleus has both exons and introns; the introns are taken out and the exons are left in. The mended exons exit the nucleus and the introns stay in the nucleus. Only the exons are translated at the ribosomes. (In Eukaryotic cells only)

Are exposons the portions of DNA molecules that code for the production of proteins?
Exons are what are expressed while introns are spliced out.
Why are exons important?
Exons are important because they contain the genetic information needed to code for proteins. During gene expression, exons are transcribed into mRNA which is then translated into proteins. Mutations or changes in exons can alter the sequence of amino acids in a protein, leading to functional changes or diseases.
What label represents the coding part of DNA?
The coding part of DNA is represented by exons. Exons are the segments of DNA that contain the instructions for the synthesis of proteins. They are transcribed into mRNA and eventually translated into proteins.
