RNA processing is unique to eukaryotes because eukaryotes cells have a nucleus.
The process deals with extensive processing inside the nucleus before it heads out for translation in
the cytoplasm. It does not occur in the prokaryotic cells. Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotes undergo an RNA
processing step right after transcription and before translation. They go through 3 serious steps before
occurring cytoplasm: capping, polyadenylation, and slicing.
