Answer:

Exons

Step-by-step explanation:

The eukaryotic DNA is made up of coding segments (EXONS) and non-coding segment (INTRONS).

The pre-mRNA may contains the exons and Introns while during RNA splicing the Introns are removed from messenger RNA.

The mature mRNA which contains only exon will code for protein formation.
