Question

Is there a term used to distinguish nascent mRNA from mRNA that has been processed?

Answer 1

The answer to your query is as follows:

The term used to distinguish nascent mRNA from mRNA that has been processed is known as primary transcript RNA or pre-mRNA. The term pre-mRNA stands for precursor mRNA. As the name suggests, it is the first formed RNA from DNA by the process of transcription to synthesize proteins.

A process called as splicing removes all the introns from the pre-mRNA or transcribed mRNA.It is followed by the addition of poly(A) tail to the 3'end of the RNA and a 5'cap is added to the 5'end.
