If You Compared the DNA Sequence of a Gene with the Sequence

Multiple Choice

If you compared the DNA sequence of a gene with the sequence of the mature mRNA that was transcribed from the gene you would find

B) the mRNA is shorter because it does not contain introns.
C) the mRNA is longer because each codon of one amino acid encodes three bases.
D) both are the same length.
E) the mRNA is shorter because it does not contain exons.
