In eukaryotic cells, introns are generally longer than exons. While exons are the coding regions that are expressed in proteins, introns are the non-coding segments that are spliced out during RNA processing. As a result, the total length of introns often exceeds that of exons, especially in complex genes with multiple introns.

What is intron splicing and what does it allow the cell to do?

Intron excising. When the messenger RNA is first transcribed the genes it is transcribed from have areas of sense, exons, and areas of " nonsense " ( not really, but let's keep it simple ) called introns. So the pre-mRNA has a complex called the spliceosome attach to it and this excises the introns, then spices the exons together to make mature mRNA. So a cell can send a clean gene copy to the ribosomes for translation.


What determined which proteins a cell make?

The answer is "DNA". It depends on the parts of the DNA that are activated and what part of the RNA-model is an intron or an exon. Only the exons get copied as RNA goes to the ribosomes, where proteins are made.
