Briefly explain WHY a 5 7-methylguanosine cap is only added to mRNA, not to tRNA or rRNA. (Please note that I am not looking for the function of the 5’ cap, but for the mechanism restricting capping to messenger RNA.)
Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.

Introduction
DNA is a self replicating molecule. Transcription is a process by which mRNA is produced from DNA. In eukaryotes after formation of mRNA (messenger RNA) and it undergoes some modification called post transcriptional modification. Translation is a process where protein is synthesised from mRNA.
