The sequences found in the final mature mRNA has to be determined, and the structure of final mRNA has to be drawn. Concept Introduction: Transcription results in the synthesis of a primary transcript that undergoes some modification referred to as post-transcriptional modification. There are three kinds of post-transcriptional modifications that occur in eukaryotic primary transcripts, namely the addition of a 5′ cap structure and a 3′ poly (A) tail and the most significant is the RNA splicing. In most of the eukaryotic genes, there are certain sequences that do not encode any amino acid for the protein. Hence they are removed off in a process known as RNA splicing. The sequences that are not coding to any amino acids are termed as introns, and the important protein-coding regions are called exons.

I have a question about this problem involving mechanisms and drawing curved arrows for acids and bases. I know we need to identify the nucleophile and electrophile, but are there different types of reactions? For instance, what about Grignard reagents and other types that I might not be familiar with? Can you help me with this? I want to identify the names of the mechanisms for problems 1-14, such as Gilman reagents and others. Are they all the same? Also, could you rewrite it so I can better understand? The handwriting is pretty cluttered. Additionally, I need to label the nucleophile and electrophile, but my main concern is whether those reactions differ, like the "Brønsted-Lowry acid-base mechanism, Lewis acid-base mechanism, acid-catalyzed mechanisms, acid-catalyzed reactions, base-catalyzed reactions, nucleophilic substitution mechanisms (SN1 and SN2), elimination reactions (E1 and E2), organometallic mechanisms, and so forth."
