During mrna processing, what is put on the 3' end of a primary mrna transcript?
a. a poly-a tail
b. a cap
c. an exon
d. an intron

A poly-A tail.

Explanation:

Transcription may be defined as the process of formation of the RNA molecules from the DNA template. Eukaryotic RNA undergoes the process of mRNA processing.

The mRNA processing involves the post translation modification of RNA. The poly A (adenine) tail is added to the 3' end of the RNA transcript after the elongation. This poly A tail protects the RNA from the degradation and helps to export the RNA into the cytoplasm.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
