Water can act as either a base or an acid. Water acts as an acid by donating a hydrogen ion when it reacts with a stronger base such as sodium hydroxide. Water may also act as a base when it accepts hydrogen ion when reacting with a strong acid such as hydrochloric acid. This is based on Bronsted concept and definition of a base ( proton acceptor) and acid (proton donor). Such a  compound that can act as a base and as an acid is called an amphiprotic molecule.

Which of the following statements about eukaryotic mRNA processing is not correct?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D.

Explanation:

In eukaryotes, the process of transcription takes place inside the nucleus whereas translation takes place in the cytosol. So, mRNA has to export to the cytosol from the nucleus.

Before export, the post-transcriptional modification takes place like 5' capping, 3' tailing and splicing mechanism.

The capping is done at 5' end by adding modified guanine (G) nucleotide which protects the mRNA from exonuclease activity and tailing is done at 3' end by adding adenine nucleotides which provides stability to the mRNA.Splicing removes the junk DNA called introns and joins the exons before export.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.
