Answer:
The correct answer is : The concentration of solute in the environment is equal to the concentration inside the cell.
Explanation:
Isotonic environment is an environment the amount of solute concentration is equal on both side of the semipermeable membrane or the cell. in such condition there would be no water movement towards particular direction or will take place and as there is no water movement so there would be no change in shape or size of the cell. The osmotic pressure in an isotonic environment would be same on both side of the membrane.
Thus, the correct answer is : The concentration of solute in the environment is equal to the concentration inside the cell.

Schach [20]

removal of introns, addition of 5' cap and 3' tail to mRNA.

Explanation:

The mRNA is processed before it leaves nucleus. The introns are removed and exons are remain in mRNA. This process is called splicing. The 5' end is attached with a cap and 3' is attached with a polyadenylated tail. Thus mRNA is processed with these process before it leaves the nucleus.
