Which of the following processes only occurs in eukaryotic gene expression?
A
Transcription
B
Translation
C
RNA polymerase binding
D
5' capping of mRNA
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that eukaryotic cells have a more complex gene expression process compared to prokaryotic cells, involving additional steps and modifications.
Recognize that transcription and translation occur in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, although the processes have differences in complexity and location.
Identify that RNA polymerase binding is a part of the transcription process, which occurs in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Learn that 5' capping of mRNA is a unique modification that occurs in eukaryotic cells. This process involves the addition of a modified guanine nucleotide to the 5' end of the mRNA transcript.
Understand that the 5' cap is important for mRNA stability, export from the nucleus, and initiation of translation in eukaryotic cells, making it a process exclusive to eukaryotic gene expression.
