Patrick asked the Naked Scientists:
What are introns and exons ? Are they part of the neuron system?
What do you think?

Quote from: Patrick
Are they part of the neuron system?
Neurons (nerves) are cells, which are formed from many proteins.
Many of these proteins will be formed from non-contiguous sections of DNA, containing introns and exons.
This affects all cells, not just nerve cells.
