Is this true or false? Most structural genes of eukaryotes are continuous, not interrupted by the noncoding se

False- genes are made up of exons (which are expressed in the final gene) and introns. Introns are spliced out of the gene, and the resulting exons are fused together by some type of ligase enzyme. The exons are further modified outside the nucleus by the additional of several hundreds of adenines on its end and a guanine cap on the front (which is, strangely, added backwards!).Is this true or false?

False.
