Mutations in introns are less likely to affect phenotype then mutation in exons?
Mutations in introns are less likely to affect phenotype because introns are not translated into protein, unlike exons which contain coding regions for proteins. Introns are involved in regulation of gene expression through processes such as alternative splicing, but mutations within introns typically have a more subtle impact on gene expression compared to mutations in coding regions (exons).
Are introns non-expressed?
Yes they are. Exons are expressed.
Spliced together during mrna processing?
Exons, after the introns have been cleaved.
How many introns are in CFTR?
The CFTR gene has 27 exons and 26 introns. Introns are non-coding sequences that are spliced out during mRNA processing, while exons are coding sequences that are retained in the final mRNA transcript.
Do exons contain noncoding DNA?
Exons are the portions of a gene that code for the final protein product and typically do not contain noncoding DNA. Noncoding DNA is more commonly found in introns, which are the intervening sequences between exons.
In eukaryotes only exons are translated?
Correct. The mRNA transcibed from the DNA in the nucleus has both exons and introns; the introns are taken out and the exons are left in. The mended exons exit the nucleus and the introns stay in the nucleus. Only the exons are translated at the ribosomes. (In Eukaryotic cells only)

Are exons or introns removed during the process of splicing?
Exons are the parts of a gene that are kept and expressed, while introns are the parts that are removed during the process of splicing.
Are introns or exons removed during the process of mRNA splicing?
Exons are the parts of the mRNA that are kept and introns are the parts that are removed during the process of mRNA splicing.
Are introns non-expressed?
Yes they are. Exons are expressed.
How can one identify introns and exons in a sequence?
To identify introns and exons in a sequence, one can use bioinformatics tools that analyze the sequence for specific patterns and characteristics associated with introns and exons. These tools can identify regions with known splice sites, coding sequences, and non-coding sequences to differentiate between introns and exons. Additionally, comparing the sequence to a reference genome can help in identifying these regions accurately.
Spliced together during mrna processing?
Exons, after the introns have been cleaved.
What happens to the introns and exons during transcription?
After transcription, the mRNA is processed by the spliceosome, which splices out the introns (because introns are not part of the coding sequences for protein), and "stitches" the exons together to form the final transcript that is sent to the ribosome for translation.
Are exons or introns spliced out during the process of RNA splicing?
During the process of RNA splicing, introns are spliced out, while exons are joined together to form the mature mRNA molecule.
What type of RNA holds information of both introns and exons?
mRNA
Are sense regions for of DNA introns and nonsense regions exons?
yup
How many introns are in CFTR?
The CFTR gene has 27 exons and 26 introns. Introns are non-coding sequences that are spliced out during mRNA processing, while exons are coding sequences that are retained in the final mRNA transcript.
