contain the actual coding information, with intervening sequences called introns; are spliced together

3
New cards

intron

removed from a newly transcribed RNA due to non-coding information

4
New cards

replication

process DNA goes through when cells are dividing so genetic info is passed to offspring

5
New cards

operon

group of genes together with a promoter - operator DNA sequence that controls their transcription

6
New cards

RNA interference

RNA that turns off genes or inhibits gene expression, commonly to prevent disease

7
New cards
