Question about genetics and DNA?

Hello,

following task:

The DNA segment that codes for EPO is 6000 nucleotides long, while the functional EPO receptor protein consists of only 508 amino acids.

Develop a hypothesis that explains this phenomenon.

Thanks for helpful answers

Der DNA-Abschnitt ist also deutlich länger, als es für 508 AS nötig wäre….

Tipp: Bei Eukaryoten nennt man die mRNA nach der Transkription auch prä-mRNA.
