Pre-mrna is capped, polyadenylated, and spliced before being exported from the nucleus.
a. true
b. false

The correct answer is a) True.

Explanation:

mRNA needs to find a ribosome in order for translation to happen. But, if RNA goes to the cytoplasm without being properly marked it would be scrapped out of the cell. The cap and the poly-A tail prevent this process from happening and allows the mRNA to get to the ribosomes.

relative dating involves things like higher layers are most recent than rocks lower in the sequence. this can be extended to the known sequence of fossils. rocks containing rabbit fossils are later than those containing dinosaur fossils.  

absolute dating methods mainly use radioactive elements that have known rates of decay and produce recognizable products. for example potassium 40 decays to produce argon. once a rock has solidified the argon is trapped. by measuring the argon and potassium0 you can get an accurate number for the age.  

some other methods are good for archaeological ages. dendrochronology involves recognizing the sequence of tree rings. the orientation of magnetized particles in baked clay can be used to date a fire.
