The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks where RNA splicing and RNA capping occur in a eukaryotic cell, and also where messenger RNA (mRNA) is produced. 2. **Transcription Process**: In eukaryotic cells, transcription is the process where DNA is used as a template to synthesize RNA. This process occurs in the nucleus of the cell. 3. **Formation of Heteronuclear RNA**: During transcription, the initial RNA produced is called heteronuclear RNA (hnRNA), which contains both introns (non-coding regions) and exons (coding regions). 4. **RNA Modifications**: Before hnRNA can be translated into proteins, it undergoes several modifications: - **Splicing**: This is the process of removing introns and joining exons together to form a continuous coding sequence. - **Capping**: A 5' cap is added to the beginning of the mRNA molecule, which is essential for stability and for the mRNA to be recognized by ribosomes during translation. - **Tailing**: A poly-A tail is added to the 3' end of the mRNA, which also helps in stability and export from the nucleus. 5. **Final Product**: After these modifications, the mature mRNA is formed, which is ready to be transported out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm for translation. 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, both RNA splicing and RNA capping take place inside the nucleus, and messenger RNA is produced in the nucleus as well. ### Answers: - RNA splicing and RNA capping take place inside the **nucleus**. - Messenger RNA is produced in the **nucleus**.
