Introns are nucleotide sequence which cannot encode functional proteins or polypeptides or introns do not have a sequence-specific function.

Overlapping gene are the same sequence of DNA encodes two nonhomologous proteins because it uses more than one reading frame.

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.
