Which one or more of the following statements is/are correct in the processing of pre-mRNA in eukaryotes?
(A) 3′ → 5′ exonuclease activity is involved in the conversion of pre-mRNA to mRNA.
(B) 5′-capping and addition of 3′-poly A tail precede splicing.
(C) Splicing of pre-mRNA occurs via transesterification reaction.
(D) Alternative splicing can yield different mRNA products from the same pre-mRNA.

Answer: (B) 5′-capping and addition of 3′-poly A tail precede splicing.
(C) Splicing of pre-mRNA occurs via transesterification reaction.
(D) Alternative splicing can yield different mRNA products from the same pre-mRNA.
Explanation:
- Splicing occurs after 5′ capping and polyadenylation.
- The splicing mechanism involves transesterification reactions.
- Alternative splicing allows a single pre-mRNA to produce different mRNA variants.
