Q. The capping of hnRNA involves the addition of
A) methyl guanosine triphosphate at 5’ end
B) ethyl adenosine triphosphate at 5’ end
C) methyl adenosine biphosphate at 5’ end
D) ethyl cytosine biphosphate at 5’ end
Explanation
During the capping of hnRNA, methyl guanosine triphosphate is added to the 5’ end of primary transcript. 5’ cap prevents the degradation of nascent mRNA.
