Definitions:

Pre-mRNA

The primary transcript formed during gene expression in eukaryotes, which undergoes processing to become mature mRNA.

Introns

Non-coding sequences of DNA within a gene that are removed during RNA processing before translation.

Codon

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that specifies a particular amino acid or start/stop signal for protein synthesis.

Ribosomal RNA

A molecular component of ribosomes, essential for protein synthesis in all living organisms, playing a catalytic and structural role in ribosomes.
