<span>Chromosomes, especially homologous chromosomes exchange genetic materials through translocation of their parts in a process called crossing over. If the exchange between the chromosomes is balanced and  preserves the proper complement of genetic material,  then the chances of the probability of mutation are low. However, if this translocation is uneven and disrupts the regulation of genes (such as activate an oncogene or inhibit a tumor suppressor gene probably due to multiple fusions at a single locus) then the chances of cancer are high. </span>

Why is a cap added to mRNA, but not to tRNA or rRNA? Transfer RNA and rRNA exhibit complex structures with double stranded regio
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The 5' cap is added to the mRNA as a means of protection from being degraded by enzymes in the cellular environment. Additionally. it helps with binding to the ribosome and subsequently translating it into a protein.

Explanation:

Moreover, it's only Polymerase II that has the ability to add the 5' cap and rRNA & tRNA are not transcribed by Polymerase II, only the mRNA is.

rRNA and tRNA have stable 3-Dimensional structures that protects it from being degraded by enzymes.
