What are exons and introns?
Exons are sequences on the primary transcript, or pre-mRNA (or the DNA sequence from which it is transcribed), that remain in the RNA after RNA processing. Introns are sequences on the primary...
What is the difference between introns and exons?
Exons are the DNA sequences that code for proteins. Introns are involved however they dont carry the genetic information that exons carry
What is the difference between an exon and an intron?
The exon - the 'coding' DNA sequence - is 'determined' by the Dna that is Expressed. The introns - noncoding DNA sequences - are returned for recycling.
Are introns or exons on prokaryotic mRNA?
Exons are part of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Introns are rarely present in the domain bacteria (common bacteria) while introns are present in some genes in domain archaea ("ancient" bacteria)....
What is the differences between exons and introns?
