The transcribed pre-mRNA contains untranslated regions at both ends which contain a ribosome binding site, terminator and start and stop codons. In addition, most eukaryotic open reading frames contain untranslated introns which are removed before the exons are translated. The sequences at the ends of the introns, dictate the splice sites to generate the final mature mRNA which encodes the protein or RNA product.
If it is possible to answer this question, answer it for me (else, reply "unanswerable"): Where are the ribosome binding site, terminator and start and stop codons located on transcribed pre-mRNA?
