Why are there introns present in eukaryotic genes?

Introns are present in eukaryotic genes because they allow for alternative splicing, which enables a single gene to code for multiple proteins. This increases the diversity of proteins that can be produced from a single gene, allowing for greater complexity and regulation in eukaryotic organisms.
