Examiners report
From Topic 7.1 candidates should know that introns are regions of DNA that do not code for proteins. This confused some candidates that failed to realize that introns are found within genes coding for proteins. In order to make this question more fair, the mark scheme was adapted and answers A and B were both accepted as correct.
