Solution

The correct options are
B Undergoes splicing
C Undergoes capping
Transcription happens in the nucleus, but translation must occur in the cytoplasm. Eukaryotes undergo RNA processing step right after transcription and before translation. The RNA strand is processed so that its introns are removed and the exons are pushed together to make a continuous, shorter strand. This process is called as RNA splicing. It produces a 'final draft' of the mRNA before translation gets under way. RNA splicing is the removal of introns and joining of exons in an eukaryotic mRNA. It also occurs in tRNA and rRNA. Splicing is accomplished with the help of spliceosomes, which remove introns from the genes in RNA. Capping is done on 5' end.
Thus, the correct answer is option B and C.
