Video transcript

Hi everyone here we have a question that says the eukaryotic pre M. RNA undergoes all the following except a splicing to remove introns. This is correct. Be splicing to remove Exxon's. This is incorrect in eukaryotic pre M r N. A. This will Exxon's will be joined, not removed. C addition of five prime cat to the five prime end. This correct de addition of poly a tail to the three prime end. This is correct. So our answer here is be splicing to remove Exxon's. Thank you for watching. Bye.
