Question

Which ONE of the following processes does NOT occur in prokaryotic gene expression, but occurs in eukaryotic gene expression?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Transcription of mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA Binding of RNA polymerase to the promoter Addition of a poly-A tail to the 3' end and the 5' capping of an mRNA Correct Translation begins as soon as transcription is initiated

Explanation

Understanding Mendelian segregation reveals allele distribution and recombination generate phenotypic variation. Therefore Addition of a poly-A tail to the 3' end and the 5' capping of an mRNA is correct because it follows segregation and linkage principles, which underpins key processes in genetics.
