Verified
Processing of prokaryotic mRNA molecules, such as splicing and polyadenylation, allows for greater posttranscriptional regulation.
Polyadenylation
That part of eukaryotic mRNA processing in which multiple adenine-containing nucleotides (a poly-A tail) are added to the 3' end of the molecule.
Prokaryotic mRNA
Messenger RNA found in prokaryotic organisms that is used to carry genetic information from DNA for protein synthesis.
Posttranscriptional Regulation
The control of gene expression at the RNA level, occurring after transcription but before translation.
