Post-transcriptional modification of pre-mRNA includes:

Answer: Capping (5 prime), poly-A tail (3 prime), and splicing out introns.

  • A Mainly the enzymatic addition of a 5 prime methylguanosine cap structure
  • B Capping (5 prime), poly-A tail (3 prime), and splicing out introns
  • C Mainly the removal of introns from the transcript by the spliceosome complex
  • D Mainly the chemical methylation of cytosine bases within the DNA template

Correct answer: B. Capping (5 prime), poly-A tail (3 prime), and splicing out introns

Explanation: Pre-mRNA processing: 5-prime methyl guanosine cap + poly-A tail (added at 3-prime end) + splicing out introns by spliceosomes.
