mRNA Processing

What is the first step in processing RNA in eukaryotic cells?

• Splicing

• Polyadenylation

• Capping

• Translation

What is added to the RNA's three prime end during polyadenylation?

• A special nucleotide

• A long tail of G's

• A long tail of A's

• A protein cap

Which regions of a eukaryotic gene are not represented in the final mRNA product?

• Exons

• Introns

• Promoters

• Enhancers

What is the role of spliceosomes in RNA processing?

• Removing introns from RNA

• Translating the RNA

• Adding a cap to the RNA

• Adding a tail to the RNA

What marks the RNA as ready to be translated into protein?

• The completion of splicing

• The attachment of ribosomes

• The removal of exons

• The addition of introns
