Step-by-step solution
In eukaryotes, the primary transcript is called heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA), which acts as the precursor of mRNA. It undergoes essential post-transcriptional modifications in the nucleus: - Capping involves the addition of an unusual nucleotide (methyl guanosine triphosphate) specifically at the 5' end of hnRNA. - Tailing involves the addition of adenylate residues (200-300) at the 3' end in a template-independent manner. - Splicing is the process where non-coding sequences (introns) are removed and coding se
