Which statement correctly describes the processes involved in protein synthesis within eukaryotic cells?
During transcription, pre-mRNA is synthesized in the cytoplasm before being spliced and transported into the nucleus.
The genetic code is described as overlapping because each nucleotide base in an mRNA sequence can be read as part of multiple adjacent codons.
During translation, complementary base pairing occurs between mRNA codons and tRNA anticodons, and peptide bonds are formed between amino acids via condensation reactions.
RNA polymerase binds to the start codon on the template DNA strand to initiate the synthesis of mRNA in the 5′→3′5' \rightarrow 3'5′→3′ direction.
