List - I  Structure List - II   Label
(A) Methyl Guanosine Triphosphate (I)   A
(B) Intron (II)  I
(C) Poly A tail (III) C
(D) Fully processed hn RNA (IV) H

 

Options:

(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)

(A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)

(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)

(A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)

Correct Answer:

(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)

List - I  Structure List - II   Label
(A) Methyl Guanosine Triphosphate (III)  C
(B) Intron (I)    A
(C) Poly A tail (IV) H
(D) Fully processed hn RNA (II)  I

Primary transcripts contain both the exons and the introns and are non-functional. Hence, it is subjected to a process called splicing where the introns are removed and exons are joined in a defined order. hnRNA undergoes additional processing called as capping and tailing. In capping an unusual nucleotide (methyl guanosine triphosphate) is added to the 5'-end of hnRNA. In tailing, adenylate residues (200-300) are added at 3'-end in a template independent manner. It is the fully processed hnRNA, now called mRNA, that is transported out of the nucleus for translation.
