Which one of the following are not hallmarks used to identify genes in an unknown prokaryotic sequence?a. termination sequences.b. operator sequences.c. promoters 5' and 3'. d. intron splice sites.

Answer :

Iqta

Answer:

d. intron splice sites

Explanation:

  • Splice sites are a characteristic of eukaryotic genomes. Eukaryotes have exons i.e. coding regions and introns i.e. non-coding or regulatory regions.
  • During post-transcriptional modification, introns from the transcribed pre-mRNA are removed by a process known as splicing. With the introns removed, the exons are combined to produce a mature translatable mRNA.
  • Prokaryotic genomes are only composed of exons. They do not possess introns.
  • Prokaryotic genes are transcribed and translated simultaneously without the need of post transcriptional modifications.
