Summary Introduction

Introduction: During transcription, the nucleotide sequences of a gene are transcribed into mRNA sequences which code for the proteins. In eukaryotes, it occurs in the nucleus and pre-mRNA is synthesized. This pre-mRNA is further modified before translation in the cytoplasm. This is known as the RNA processing. It includes modification of mRNA ends and RNA splicing.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following is true of the timing of RNA processing?     The premise is false; mRNA processing does not occur in eukaryotes     mRNA processing occurs in the cytosol after pre-mRNA is exported from the nucleus     mRNA processing occurs co-transcriptionally     mRNA processing occurs in the nucleus after transcription has terminated
Which one of the following options is NOT a step in RNA processing? Addition of the 5’ G cap Addition of the 3’ poly A tail Splicing to remove exons and connect the retained introns Splicing to remove introns and connect the retained exons
Which of the following is NOT an event associated with translation termination?   A stop codon enters the A site on the ribosome. A Release Factor enters the A site A terminal amino acid is added to the polypeptide to signal the end of translation. Release Factor mediates the hydrolysis of the polypeptide from the tRNA at the P site. The polypeptide and tRNA are released and the ribosomal subunits are separated.
