Question

RNA processing is ______.

Options

• the rejection of old, worn-out RNA

• an event that occurs after RNA is transcribed

• the same as transcription

• pertains to the function of tRNA during protein synthesis

Answer 1

RNA processing is an event that occurs after RNA is transcribed.

Explanation:

RNA processing, also known as post-transcriptional modification, refers to the series of enzymatic steps that transform a primary RNA transcript (pre-mRNA) into a mature, functional RNA molecule. This process occurs after transcription is initiated and, in many cases, before the RNA leaves the nucleus for translation.
