Processing of a primary transcript to produce mature mRNA includes all of the following EXCEPT: A. polyadenylation. B. capping. C. adenine methylation. This does occur with rRNA processing. D. splicing. E. All of these are part of mRNA processing.

Step 1
So, this is part of mRNA processing. Capping is the addition of a 5' cap to the mRNA, which also helps in stability and translation. So, this is part of mRNA processing as well. Adenine methylation is a modification that occurs in tRNA processing, not mRNA Show more…
