C) mRNAs in prokaryotes are usually polycistronic.
D) There are introns in eukaryotic genes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eukaryotic genes often contain introns, non-coding sequences that are spliced out of the mRNA before translation. This makes it more challenging to identify the coding regions of genes in eukaryotes compared to prokaryotes, which typically do not have introns.
