Do Bacteria Have Introns and Exons?
Understanding Prokaryotic Genes: Example Question #1 Explanation: the Correct Answer Is That Prokaryotes Only Have Exons, Whereas Eukaryotes Have Exons and...
Do bacteria have introns?
Bacterial gene do not possess intron, their coding sequences are not interupted. ... In higher eucaryotes there are often many introns within a gene, so one needs to specify what segments of a gene are coding and what are introns. However in bacteria introns are very rare and most genes have none.
What organisms have introns and exons?
"In general, nuclear introns are widespread in complex eukaryotes, or higher organisms. Simple prokaryotes and eukaryotes (such as fungi and protozoa) lack them. In complex multicellular organisms (such as plants and vertebrates), introns are about 10-fold longer than the exons, the active, coding parts of the genome.
