Question

Do introns code for amino acids?

Answer 1

Introns:

1. An intron is a section of a gene that does not remain in the final, mature mRNA molecule after that gene is translated and does not code for the amino acids that make up the protein that that gene is responsible for encoding.
2. Exons and introns make up the majority of the human genome's protein-coding genes.
3. Introns are essential for gene expression regulation, even though they do not encode protein
4. Hence Introns don't code for amino acids
