Explanation / Answer

1)Addition od 5'cap-

Assits mRNA in binding to the small ribosomal subunit

Stabilizes the trailing end of the mRNA

2)Addition of poly(A) tail-

Assits in RNA splicing

Facilitates transport of mRNA into the cytoplasm

3)RNA splicing-

Removes non-coding region from pre-mRNA

4)RNA editing-

Alters nucleotide sequence in exons

Constructs multiple products from a single gene
