xplain all 3 modifications made during RNA processing: 3’tail, 5’cap, RNA splicing, Be specific! Explain how each modification affects the mRNA.
Added by Michael B.
Step 1
This structure is known as the 5' cap. - The 5' cap serves several important functions: it protects the mRNA from degradation by exonucleases, facilitates the export of the mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, and is crucial for the initiation of translation by Show more…

List the 3 ways in which an immature mRNA transcript is modified to become a mature mRNA transcript in eukaryotic cells. Explain the modification and the role or function of each of these modifications. Also briefly explain how these modifications are regulated (and namely, are sequences in the mRNA itself important?).

What are the three modifications made to a pre-mRNA after transcription has occurred in eukaryotes and explain the significance of each?
Suman K.
Using a labeled diagram, briefly describe the modification processes a eukaryotic pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) has to undergo in order to become mature mRNA: I'm aware the processes are: 1. Capping at 5' end 2. Polyadenylation at 3' end 3. Excision/splicing of introns 4. Methylation Please give me diagrams and explain these.
