Which of the following processes occurs in eukaryotic gene expression?
A
mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA are translated.
B
A cap is added to the 5′ end of the mRNA.
C
Adenine nucleotides are added to the 5' end of the mRNA.
D
RNA polymerase requires tRNA to elongate the molecule.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that eukaryotic gene expression involves several key processes, including transcription and translation.
Recognize that during transcription, a primary mRNA transcript is synthesized from a DNA template.
Identify that in eukaryotes, the primary mRNA transcript undergoes several modifications before it becomes mature mRNA.
One of these modifications is the addition of a 5' cap to the mRNA, which is crucial for mRNA stability and initiation of translation.
Note that the addition of a 5' cap is a distinguishing feature of eukaryotic mRNA processing, which does not occur in prokaryotes.
