Chapter 6RNA post-transcriptional processing RNA Processing Very few RNA molecules are transcribed directly into the final mature RNA. Most newly transcribed RNA molecules (primary transcripts) undergo various alterations to yield the mature product RNA processing is the collective term used to describe the molecular events allowing the primary transcripts to become the mature RNA. 6.1: rRNA PROCESSING rRNA processing in prokaryotes rRNA processing in eukaryotes 6.1-1: rRNA processing in prokaryotes There are 7 different operons for rRNA that are dispersed throughout the genome. Each oper
