B) They cap the mRNA, allowing it to pass through the nuclear membrane to the cytoplasm fo translation. C) They provide a repetitive DNA sequence needed by primers to recognize the beginning of transcription. D) They remain relatively undamaged from environmental stress and toxins.arrow_forwardDescribe how eukaryotic mRNA molecules are processedand exported to the cytoplasm.arrow_forward
