Question

What is the difference between intron and exon?

Answer 1

Difference between intron and exon:

1. Introns are known as interfering sequences present in mRNA transcript.
2. These are the nucleotide sequences which do not encode any amino acid sequence in the coding region.
3. Exons are the expressing sequences present in mRNA transcript.
4. These are the nucleotide sequences which encode for amino acids.

Intron	Exon
These are found in eukaryotes.	These are found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
These sequences are less conserved.	These sequences are highly conserved.
They belong to non-coding DNA.	They belong to coding DNA.
These interact with spliceosomes.	They don't have to interact with spliceosomes.
