mRNA PROCESSING ASSIGNMENT
mRNA PROCESSING ASSIGNMENT
1. Watch the animations for both: mRNA processing And mRNA splicing at
http://vcell.ndsu.nodak.edu/animations/mrnaprocessing/movie-flash.htm
2. Make a table describing the required components and their functions for each of the three processes: 5’cap, poly-A, splicing
3. Then, summary in a chronological order the three processes.
GUIDELINES FOR A SUCCESFUL OUTCOME: you should create a detail table with all the required components and their functions as previously done in class for some other molecular processes (replication
and transcription). then explain in a single space essay your understanding of the three processes as a single whole step in the cell. Read it before you submit.
