Why have the introns been retained<br />
in eukaryotes?<br />
1.The presence of the introns and the<br />
need to remove them, allows for<br />
alternative splicing which can<br />
generate multiple proteins from a<br />
single gene.<br />
2. Having the coding sequence of<br />
genes divided into several exons<br />
allows new genes to be created by<br />
reshuffling exon.
