Answer:

Addition of poly A tail and and addition of 5' cap

Explanation:

In eukaryotes, many post-transcriptional modification takes place like 5' capping, polyadenylation, and splicing. In 5' capping 7-methyl guanosine is added toward the 5' end of mRNA by the action of a enzyme called guanyl transferase. This cap protects mRNA from degradation.

In polyadenylation up to 250 adenosine nucleotides are added at the 3' end of the mRNA and it is called poly-A tail. Poly A polymerase is the enzyme that is responsible for polyadenylation.  

Therefore two main post transcription modifications are 5' capping and polyadenylation.

qwelly [4]
The Golgi bodies are the empty structure in the cytoplasm. The Golgi apparatus or Golgi complex is found in most cells. It is another packaging organelle like the endoplasmic reticulum<span> (ER). It was named after Camillo Golgi, an Italian biologist. It is pronounced GOL-JI in the same way you would say squee-gie, as soft a "G" sound. While layers of membranes may look like the rough ER, they have a very different function. </span>
