Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are long segments of nucluotides that have a nc coding information?
A
extrons
B
introns
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Some noncoding DNA regions, called introns, are located within protein-coding genes but are removed before a protein is made. Regulatory elements, such as enhancers, can be located in introns. Other noncoding regions are found between genes and are known as intergenic regions.

Detailed explanation-2: -The coding segments are called exons; the noncoding ones are called introns.

Detailed explanation-3: -Long non-coding RNAs include intergenic lincRNAs, intronic ncRNAs, and sense and antisense lncRNAs, each type showing different genomic positions in relation to genes and exons.

Detailed explanation-4: -Abundant and functionally important types of non-coding RNAs include transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), as well as small RNAs such as microRNAs, siRNAs, piRNAs, snoRNAs, snRNAs, exRNAs, scaRNAs and the long ncRNAs such as Xist and HOTAIR.
