Which of the following is correct regarding splicing? A. Lariats are the sequence recognized by the cleavage site. B. CPSFs are products of RNA sequences designed to recognize the 3'OH at the splice site. C. snRNPs are the protein product of U-rich RNAs that partially complement the 5' splice junction. D. smURFs are used to recognize the poly A tail and initiate splicing. E. PABIII recognizes the A-rich sequences at the 5' end of the splice site.

Which of the following statements regarding the transcription and mRNA processing in eukaryotes is NOT correct? Choose one: A. Hyperphosphorylation of the RNA polymerase II CTD regulates the interaction of mRNA processing enzymes with the newly transcribed regions of mRNA. B. Transcription factors (TFIIA, TFIIB, TFIIE, TFIIH) assemble on RNA polymerase II after it binds to TFIID/TBP. C. Capping of the mRNA 5' end occurs co-transcriptionally. D. Splicing of the mRNA occurs co-transcriptionally.

Which of the following statements about pre-mRNA splicing is FALSE? a. Splicing of an intron requires consensus sequences at the splice donor, the splice acceptor and the branch point of the intron. b. The spliceosome contains proteins and RNA molecules. c. Some snRNAs base pair with splice consensus sequences on the primary transcript. d. Splicing happens before the export of the mRNA to the cytoplasm. e. Splicing happens in the cytoplasm, when spliceosomes move down the pre-mRNA in front of ribosomes.

Eukaryotic mRNA: a. uses snRNPs to cut out introns and seal together translatable exons. b. uses a spliceosome mechanism made of DNA to recognize consensus sequences to cut and splice. c. has a guanine cap on its $3^{\prime \prime}$ end and a poly(A) tail on its $5^{\prime}$ end. d. is composed of adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. e. codes the guanine cap and poly(A) tail from the DNA template.
