In the nucleus of a cell, a molecule of mature mRNA, which is smaller in size, was formed from a larger molecule of immature mRNA. The stages of this transformation together are called:
- A. Replication
- B. Translation
- C. Processing
- D. Recognition
- E. Termination
Hint
Think about the set of nuclear modifications, such as intron removal, 5′ capping and polyadenylation, that convert a primary transcript into a functional messenger.
