The three major steps in mRNA (post-transcriptional) processing are:

5' capping

7-methylguanosine (a methylated guanine nucleotide) is added to the 5' end of the mRNA

3' polyadenylation

The 3' end of the mRNA is cleaved, and many (usually about 250) adenine nucletides are added to the end. This is known as a poly A tail.

Splicing

Introns, the non-coding areas, are taken out of the mRNA.

mRNA does not copy DNA, intead, mRNA is copied FROM DNR. The process is call translation.


What steps happen first during during transcription?

At first during transcription, RNA polymerase binds the promoter region of a gene to be transcribed. The end product would be the synthesized mRNA.

What r two basic steps of polypeptide synthesis?

The 2 basic steps of polypeptide synthesis are:Transcription - the synthesis of mRNA from a DNA template. Only one strand of DNA is copied, and a single gene may be transcribed thousands of times.Translation - the process where ribosomes synthesize proteins using the mature mRNA transcript produced during transcription. The ribosome attaches to mRNA, and then moves along the mRNA adding amino acids to the growing polypeptide chain.
