The Portion of the DNA Molecule That is Translated Is

Question

The portion of the DNA molecule that is translated is composed of ______________.  
A) introns
B) anticodons
C) exons
D) transcriptions
E) exons and transcriptions

Accepted Answer

Exons are the coding regions of DNA that are transcribed into mRNA and then translated into proteins. Introns, on the other hand, are non-coding regions that are transcribed but then removed from the pre-mRNA before translation. Anticodons are found in tRNA molecules and are involved in the process of translation, but they are not part of the DNA molecule being translated. Transcriptions refers to the process of copying the DNA code into RNA, but it is not a component of the DNA molecule itself.
