mRNA processing occurs in the nucleus itself. This is because the mRNA processing involves adding the 5' cap and the poly-A tail. These features must be done before the mRNA is released into the cytoplasm because they help prevent it from being digested and harmed by the cell's own enzymes.

RNA splicing or processing (not editing) occur in nucleus after mRNA synthesis.The cutting of intron and joining of exons occurs in a series of pathways in nucleus by splicing machinery. Spliced RNAs are transported out to the cytoplasm for protein synthesis.

in the nucleus of the cell when the mrna causes the DNA to spilt in two and then it Paris up with one side of the DNA and then the RNA goes back out into the cytoplasm

Is the following true or false rna editing occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell?

This is True! RNA editing is different than pre-mRNA processing, which takes place in the nucleus: Processing includes the removal of the introns (splicing), cleavage at the poly A site, and poly-adenylation. Then RNA translation is effected at the Cytoplasmic Ribosomes.RNA editing, which is different, has been shown to occur in the cytosol, the nucleus, and inside the mitochondria.


Where does translation occur in the cell?

Translation occurs at the cytoplasm in the cell.


What is translation and where does it occur in the cell?

It occurs in the nucleus of the cell. Translation refers to the process by which RNA is translated into proteins.


What is purpose of rna editing?

RNA editing is when an RNA molecule is changed (edited) through a chemical change in the base make up. There are various types of RNA editing - namely insertions/deletions and switching bases like Cytidine to Uridine or Adenosine to Inosine (properly known as deamination). RNA editing has been observed in tRNA, rRNA and mRNA (interestingly enough all of them have to do with protein synthesis) of eukaryotes (in the cell nucleus, cytosol, mitochondrion, and chloroplast) but not in prokaryotes - which is interesting because both the mitochondrion and chloroplast are believed to be descended from prokaryotes.

What happens to introns and exons during RNA editing?

No. The process which eliminatesintrons is called 'splicing'. This process is mediated by the protein complex called a spliceosome and probably occurs simultaneously with RNA editing. RNA editing is the addition, removal or substitution of bases in an RNA molecule after it has been synthesised, and critically can occur in organisms which lack introns. There are 3 main types of RNA editing: 1, Addition or removal of Uracil residues. Seen in the primary transcripts in trypanosome mitochondria (does not appear in multicellular organisms). 2, Cytosine -> Uracil Editing. Seen in mRNAs in some animals and plant mitochondria. 3, Adenosine -> Inosine. Seen in animal mRNAs. (Inosine is a very rare base which you get from the deamination of adenosine)

Does RNA located in animal cell?

I assume the question is meant to ask "Where RNA is located in an animal cell?" In a eukaryotic cell, the RNA is located mainly in the ribosomes that are located in the cytoplasm of the cell.
