Question

In eukaryotic cell transcription, RNA splicing and RNA capping take place inside?

• A. Ribosomes
• B. Nucleus
• C. Dictyosomes
• D. ER

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Nucleus

RNA splicing is the process in which non coding regions or introns are removed from the primary transcript or pre mRNA. The process of splicing is carried out with the help of a large complex called spliceosome. Splicing occurs in the nucleus.

RNA capping involves the formation of a cap at the 5' end by the condensation of guanylate residues. Capping also occurs inside the nucleus.

So, the correct answer is 'Nucleus'.
