In split genes the coding sequences are called

Options

  1. Aintrons
  2. Bexons
  3. Ccistrons
  4. Doperons

Correct answer

B. exons

Step-by-step solution

Split genes were discovered by Phillip Sharp and Robert Richard. The part of DNA which express itself by making m RNA is called exon. One exon is separated from other by inactive part of DNA called intron. This is called split DNA.
