Induction

Kind of interaction in which one group of cells changing the behavior of an adjacent set of cells, thereby causing them to change their shape, mitotic rate, or cell fate.

Mutations occur at the same rate in both exons and introns, but exon mutations are eliminated more effectively by selection.

Introns may more freely accumulate point substitutions and other changes due to no selection pressure.  Introns evolve or accumulate mutations/changes much more rapidly than exons
