What is the purpose of exons?
- dalke 11y agoThe introduction says "Most eukaryotic genes carry protein-coding exons that are separated by non-coding introns" so I think it's safe to assume that at least one purpose is to code for proteins. Beyond that, you may need to spend some time learning molecular biology to understand what even a summary like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exon#Function https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exon#Function means. I personally don't have that understanding enough to provide advice, but there are many freely available teaching materials, including videos like http://freevideolectures.com/Course/2304/Introduction-to-Biology http://freevideolectures.com/Course/2304/Introduction-to-Bio... , to help you reach your goal of understanding what an exon does, to whatever level you want to take it.
