Answer #1

The hnRNA is a heterogeneous RNA is the fresh product of transcription. it contains both exon and intron.
1. Splicing - The introns are removed and exons are rejoined together to form a mRNA.
2. Capping - The 5'end of hnRNA is free so exonuclease will degrades the mRNA. To overcome that methyl gunosine triphosphate is added to the 5'end of hnRNA is called 5'CAP.
3. Poly A Tail - In 3' end also the hnRNA are more probable to cleave by exonuclease. So adenylate residues (200-300) nucleotides added at 3'end in template independent enzyme.

After this three process the hnRNA will converted into mature mRNA.
