MCQ on Transcription in Eukaryotes




In eukaryotes, transcription involves RNA polymerase binding to the promoter region on DNA, followed by synthesis of a complementary mRNA strand. This pre-mRNA undergoes processing, including splicing and addition of a poly-A tail and a 5′ cap, before being exported to the cytoplasm for translation. This is an MCQ on Transcription in Eukaryotes (Protein Synthesis in Eukaryotes).
