A Correct answer
Explanation

Transcription takes place in the nucleous while translation takes place in the cytoplasm. Splicing the exons triggers the pathways that lead to cytoplasm passing through the nuclear pore. Therefore, the non-coding region is required in regulation of the transport of m-RNA transcript through the nuclear pore.
