RNA
RNA (ribonucleic acid) another polymer of nucleotides
RNA differs from DNA
Has ribose as a sugar, not deoxyribose
Has uracil in place of thymine

Function of Introns
Might allow exons to be put together in different
sequences so that various mRNAs and proteins can
result from a single gene
Some introns might regulate gene expression by
feeding back to determine which coding genes are to
be expressed and how they should be spliced
