One of the answers says that introns are DNA bases which can be found between exons, but are not transcribed..
I thought the introns and exons were transcribed from DNA to make the primary transcript, and then posttranscriptional modifications removed the introns, so that only the exons are translated?

you are correct

it's a typo. Introns are only transcribed, not translated. Exons are transcribed and translated. (Exons are Expressed)
