Eukaryotic Gene Expression Problem Set
Problem 1: Post transcriptional modification to the 3'-end of eukaryotic mRNAs
What is added to the 3'-end of many eukaryotic mRNAs after transcription?
A. introns B. a poly A tail A tail of A-nucleotides, generally 100-200 long, is added to the 3'-end of most eukaryotic pre-mRNAs. The poly A tail, which is not coded in the DNA, is also retained in the mRNA exported to the cytoplasm.C. a cap structure, consisting of a modified G nucleotide D. the trinucleotide 5'-CCA E. exons
