In a mRNA molecule, untranslated regions (UTRs) are present at

A5 - end (before start codon)
B3 - end (after stop codon)
Cboth (a) and (b)
Correct Answer
D3 - end only.

Solution

mRNA has some additional sequences that are not translated and are referred as untranslated regions, (UTRs). The UTRs are present at both 5 end (before start codon) and at 3-end (after stop codon). They are required efficient translation process.
