Exons code for proteins. Exons are parts of DNA that are converted into mature messenger RNA.. From there, mRNA undergoes translation where mRNA is used to synthesize proteins.
The EGFR gene contains 28 exons.
Exons, after the introns have been cleaved.
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?
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 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.
Exons
The EGFR gene contains 28 exons.
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 enzyme that joins exons together during mRNA processing is called spliceosome. Spliceosomes remove introns and ligate exons to generate a mature mRNA transcript for translation.

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.
Yes, exons are not removed during the process of splicing in gene expression. Instead, introns are removed and exons are joined together to form the mature mRNA molecule.

The CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene contains 27 exons. These exons encode the protein responsible for regulating chloride ions across epithelial cell membranes, and mutations in this gene are associated with cystic fibrosis.
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.
