Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cap nucleotide on a eukaryotic mRNA is a modified nucleotide consisting of a 7-methylguanosine residue linked to the mRNA via a triphosphate bridge. The specific structure of the cap is referred to as m⁷G, which indicates the presence of a methyl group (m), a ribose sugar (S), and a phosphate (P) at specific positions on the guanosine residue.
