The codes for proteins are found in the exons of a gene. Exons are the coding regions of a gene that are transcribed into mRNA and translated into proteins. Introns, on the other hand, are non-coding regions that are spliced out during RNA processing and do not contribute to protein synthesis.
DNA does not make proteins directly. Rather, the DNA is the mother-of-all recipes that specialized transcription proteins (tRNA) read to make messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA is the specific recipe to make specific proteins. The specific code of DNA are made of regions called introns and exons. Exons are what the gene has coded for and introns are "spacers". I remember exons are exactly what is needed and introns are intervening sequences.
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).
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?
In a eukaryotic gene, the portion that is not spliced out is the exons. Exons are the coding sequences that remain in the mature mRNA after the introns, which are non-coding regions, have been removed during the splicing process. These exons are then translated into proteins, while the introns are discarded.
The introns are the sections which are spliced out to create the mature form of mRNA.

Introns are non-coding sequences within a gene that are transcribed but are later removed during RNA processing. Exons are the coding regions of a gene that are spliced together after introns are removed to form the mature mRNA transcript. This process is known as RNA splicing and is essential for producing functional proteins from genes.

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)
The introns are the sections which are spliced out to create the mature form of mRNA.
The coding regions of many eukaryotic genes are interrupted by non-coding sequences known as INTRONS. They are stretches of DNA whose transcripts are absent from mature mRNA product.
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.
The introns are cut out in the spliceisome and the exon portions are spliced together. A poly adenine tail is added to one end and a modified guanine cap added to the other end. Then the mRNA leaves the cell nucleus and heads for the cytoplasm and a ribosome.
Exons are the parts of DNA that provide the code for proteins. They are the coding regions of genes that are transcribed into messenger RNA and translated into proteins. The exons are separated by introns, which are non-coding regions of DNA.
The regions of RNA that code for proteins are called exons. Exons are the segments of RNA that are retained after the splicing process, where non-coding regions known as introns are removed. Together, exons are translated into amino acids to form proteins during the process of translation.
