Which of the following processes occurs in eukaryotic gene expression?
A) mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA are translated.
B) RNA polymerase binds to the terminator sequence.
C) A cap is added to the 5′ end of the mRNA.
D) RNA polymerase requires tRNA to elongate the molecule.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eukaryotic gene expression includes the addition of a cap (a modified guanine nucleotide) at the 5′ end of the mRNA. This modification is important for stability and translation of the mRNA. The other options are either incorrect or refer to processes that occur during translation, not gene expression.
