Intron is a A stretch of DNA in a gene that does not code for proteins.

Junk DNA:
DNA that does not code for proteins or their regulation but constitutes approximately 95 percent of the human genome. It is postulated to be involved in the evolution of new genes and possibly in gene repair.

Junk DNA and Introns are different. Dont confuse the two. Junk DNA are not part of a Gene. But intron is part of a Gene.


I suggest u go to link given below for any further clarifications.
