Answer 2

Answer:

Exons are the segments of DNA that code for a protein or a polypeptide chain.

Explanation:

DNA consists of coding and non-coding segments. The coding segments are called exons and the non-coding segments of DNA are called introns. Exons are spaced by introns and through splicing introns are removed from the transcript and once the introns are removed then only the coding segments left which are used to produce various proteins. And the proteins are made through a process called translation. In translation, the coding sequence (codons) or mRNA transcript without any introns are processed with ribosomal units and then it is converted into proteins.
