Eukaryotic genes are typically "split," containing alternating coding and non-coding stretches; only the coding stretches — exons — are retained in the mature mRNA after splicing and are ultimately translated into protein.

Reasoning

Many eukaryotic genes are interrupted, containing both coding sequences (exons, which are Expressed and retained in the mature mRNA) and intervening, non-coding sequences (introns, which are Intervening and are removed/spliced out before translation). After the primary RNA transcript (hnRNA) undergoes RNA splicing, the introns are excised and the remaining exons are joined together t …
