Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sequence of bases within a gene that will be transcribed but removed from the transcript prior to translation is an intron. Promoters are sequences that signal the start site for transcription, operators are regions that control gene expression by binding regulatory proteins, operons are groups of genes that share a promoter and operator and are transcribed together, and exons are sequences that code for proteins and are retained in the final mRNA transcript.
