Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RNA processing occurs only in eukaryotes, specifically during transcription of the pre-mRNA molecule into the mature mRNA molecule. This includes capping, splicing, and polyadenylation of the pre-mRNA molecule. Prokaryotes do not undergo RNA processing, and viruses have diverse mechanisms of RNA processing depending on their type.
