What is the Difference between an Exon and Intron ?
Introns | Exons |
Non coding region | Coding region |
Termed as nucleotide sequences seen within the genes which are removed through RNA splicing for generating a mature RNA molecule | Termed as a nucleic acid sequence which is represented in the RNA molecule. |
Less conserved which means that their sequence changes very frequently over time. | Very much conserved. |
Not at all implicated with the protein coding. | Codes of proteins |
DNA bases that are found in between exons. | DNA bases which are translated into mRNA |
