Do introns and exons play any role in protein synthesis?

Exons are part of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Introns are rarely present in the domain bacteria (common bacteria) while introns are present in some genes in domain archaea ("ancient" bacteria). Both are considered prokaryotic. No, they are only present on tRNA and rRNA.


Why are exons important?

Exons are important because they contain the genetic information needed to code for proteins. During gene expression, exons are transcribed into mRNA which is then translated into proteins. Mutations or changes in exons can alter the sequence of amino acids in a protein, leading to functional changes or diseases.


Spliced together during mrna processing?

Exons, after the introns have been cleaved.


What is the difference between exons and introns?

Exons are the DNA sequences that code for proteins. Introns are involved however they dont carry the genetic information that exons carry, the variation provides for revolutionary flexibility allowing cells to shuffle exons between genes to make new ones. A great way to remember which is which is Exons (sounds like Executives, like in a business) have the information and introns (sounds like the interns of a business) dont know anything; exons and inrons, executives and interns. Easy huh?


What are RNA segments joined to one another by spliceosomes?

RNA segments joined together by spliceosomes are called exons. Spliceosomes remove introns from pre-mRNA molecules and ligate exons together to produce a mature mRNA transcript that can be translated into a protein. This process is known as RNA splicing.

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)

What is EGFR?

The EGFR stands for Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate . This is a blood test to establish renal function,, looking for creatinine levels.

What are the unexpressed non-coding regions of eukaryotic genes called?

Unexpressed non-coding regions of eukaryotic genes are called introns. Introns are present in the initial RNA transcript but are removed during the process of RNA splicing, leaving only the expressed coding regions, called exons, in the mature mRNA.
