RNA PROCESSING
In eukaryotes, theRNA transcript (pre-m RNA) is spliced andm odified to producem RNA, which m ovesfrom the nucleus to thecytoplasm .

What is a gene? revisiting the question
• A gene is a region of DNA whose final product is either a polypeptide or an RNA molecule –
• A gene is the molecular unit of heredity ( = DNA // or RNA) of a living organism that codes for a protein or a (functional) RNA.
