Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence of events during transcription is initiation (when the RNA polymerase binds to the promoter sequence), elongation (when the RNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the growing mRNA strand), and termination (when the RNA polymerase reaches the terminator sequence and releases the mRNA transcript). Splicing (removing introns and joining exons) occurs during mRNA processing, while capping and tailing (adding 5' methylguanosine cap and 3' poly-A tail) occur after transcription.
