Ques. 1NEET (UG) 2025

Which of the following are the post-transcriptional events in a eukaryotic cell? Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. B, C, E only
  2. C, D, E only
  3. A, B, C only
  4. B, C, D only

Answer

(4) B, C, D only

Solution

In eukaryotes the primary transcript (hnRNA) is processed in the nucleus:

B. Splicing – introns are removed and exons are joined.

C. Capping – methyl guanosine triphosphate is added at the 5' end.

D. Tailing – adenylate residues (200–300) are added at the 3' end.

A is wrong because only the fully processed mRNA is transported to the cytoplasm, after splicing. E is not a processing step of hnRNA.

Hence B, C and D are correct.

Answer: (4)
