What is the significance of RNA processing in eukaryotic cells?

Back

It increases the stability of the mRNA, allows for the production of multiple proteins from a single gene, and facilitates the export of mRNA from the nucleus.

Front

Which modifications occur to the primary transcript in eukaryotes?

Back

Addition of a 5' cap, addition of a poly(A) tail, and splicing of introns.

Front

What is mRNA?

Back

Messenger RNA, a type of RNA that conveys genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.

Front

What is tRNA?

Back

Transfer RNA, a type of RNA that helps decode mRNA into a protein.

Front

What is rRNA?

Back

Ribosomal RNA, a component of the ribosome that helps in protein synthesis.

Front

What is the role of RNA polymerase in transcription?

Back

RNA polymerase is the enzyme that synthesizes RNA from a DNA template during transcription.

Front

What are introns?

Back

Non-coding sequences in a gene that are removed during RNA processing.
