Which of the following modifications are made to eukaryotic tRNA transcripts?
A) modification of base and ribose moieties
B) removal of 3′ trailer
C) cleavage of 5′ leader by RNase P

All the listed modifications are part of the processing and maturation of eukaryotic tRNA transcripts. Base and ribose modifications enhance the stability and functionality of tRNA, the 3′ trailer is removed to create a mature end, RNase P cleaves the 5′ leader, and the CCA sequence is added at the 3′ end if not encoded by the gene, which is essential for the attachment of amino acids.
