Menthyl guanosine triphosphate is added ...

Menthyl guanosine triphosphate is added to the 5' end of hnRNA in a process of

A

splicing

B

capping

C

tailing

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
(b) : At 5' end of hnRNA, a cap is formed by modification of GTP into 7-methyl guanosine or `7^(m(G_(ppp)`. This process is called capping and it protects the mRNA from degradation by nucleases and also.
