How does pre mRNA become mRNA?

in the transition from pre-mRNA to mRNA, there are two major events that transform the polynucleotide chain. The first, is a modification of the ends, on the 5' end, there is a G cap added ( a g cap is derived from gtp), this g cap both helps the binding to ribosomes and protects against the break down by ribonuclease, to the 3' end a modification is made where by the AAUAAA sequence(which signals the cleaving enzyme)is cleaved off and replaced by a poly A sequence (100-200 nucleotides long), which assists in the transport of the mRNA out of the nucleous, and is vital to the polynucleotide's stability. The second modification is when the introns are removed, leaving just the exons.Hope this was helpful,

A 5' cap and a 3' poly-A tail must be added. Then the pre-mRNA must be spliced. After this it is called mRNA and is ready to be transported to the cytoplasm for translation.

Pre-mRNA. It is the mRNA that is synthesized in the nucleus of eukaryotes. After being synthesized, this mRNA is processed, so that introns, noncoding, DNA is removed.

What makes premature mrna and mature mrna different?

The first (primary) transcript from a protein coding gene is often called a pre-mRNA and contains both introns and exons. Pre-mRNA requires splicing (removal) of introns to produce the final mRNA molecule containing only exons


What is the molecule transcribed from DNA called?

initially its hrRNA or pre-mRNA. (same thing different name). this then undergoes some modification like splicing, capping and polyadenalation to make mRNA which is then translated into protein.
