Document Summary
~ chapter three: the biological basis of life ~ A gene may be made up of hundreds or thousands of dna bases organized into coding and noncoding segments: when the human genome was sequenced in 2001, scientists concluded that humans have only about. However, such dna deleted during the manufacture of one protein may not be deleted during the manufacture of segments may produce other important molecules, so the term noncoding dna is not really accurate. Introns: segments of genes that are initially transcribed and then deleted. Because they aren"t expressed, they aren"t involved in protein synthesis. Therefore, the term introns and noncoding dna aren"t synonymous.
