Question
What are untranslated regions (UTRs)?
✓
Answer
mRNA has some additional sequences that are not translated and are called untranslated regions (UTRs). The UTRs are present both at 3'-end (before the start codon) and at 5'-end (after the stop codon). They only help in efficient translation process.
