The term for the segments of primary RNA that are cleaved and discarded by spliceosomes is "introns". Codons are the three-letter sequences in mRNA that code for a specific amino acid. Exons are the segments of mRNA that remain after introns are removed and are used to code for proteins. Anticodons are the three-letter sequences in tRNA that complement the codons in mRNA during translation. Genes are segments of DNA that contain the instructions for making a specific protein or RNA molecule.
