Answer:

Transcription, 5' cap addition, addition of poly-A tail, exon splicing, passage through nuclear membrane

Step-by-step explanation:

After being synthesized during the transcription, mRNA (pre-mRNA) must be modified in order to be functional (mature mRNA) and exported from the nucleus for the process of translation.Modification of pre-mRNA include:

  1. 5' capping-addition of 7-methylguanosine to the 5' end which protects the pre-mRNA
  2. addition of adenine residues to form a poly(A) tail whic is also with protective role (from ribonuclease digestion)
  3. RNA splicing-excision of introns and reconection of exons

Modified mRNA can now be transported from the nucleus into the cytoplasm.
