In bacteria, genes are typically organized in a continuous sequence without introns, allowing for direct translation into proteins. In contrast, higher organisms (eukaryotes) have genes that are discontinuous, containing introns (non-coding sequences) interspersed among exons (coding sequences), which are removed during RNA processing.
