| Pronunciation (US): |  | (GB): | |
I. (noun)
Sense 1
Meaning:
Sequence of a gene's DNA that transcribes into protein structures
Example:
exons are interspersed with introns
Synonyms:
coding DNA; exon
Classified under:
Hypernyms ("exon" is a kind of...):
deoxyribonucleic acid; desoxyribonucleic acid; DNA ((biochemistry) a long linear polymer found in the nucleus of a cell and formed from nucleotides and shaped like a double helix; associated with the transmission of genetic information)
Antonym:
intron (sequence of a eukaryotic gene's DNA that is not translated into a protein)
Context examples:
