What are exons and introns ?

Answer: Within a gene, introns and exons are nucleotide sequences. Exons are chemically bound to one another in order to form mature mRNA, whereas introns are deleted by RNA splicing as RNA matures, meaning they are not expressed in the final messenger RNA (mRNA) product.

Exons are expressed sequences, whereas introns are intervening sequences. Each human gene has an average of 8.8 exons and 7.8 introns.
