RNA Polymerase II transcribes hnRNA (Heterogeneous nuclear RNA) in eukaryotes hnRNA precursor of mRNA.

Steps that hnRNA undergoes before it is processed into mRNA-

Capping - Methyl guanosine triphosphate (as an unusual nucleotide) is added to s'end of hnRNA.

Tailing - Adenylate residues (200-300) are added at 3'end in a template-independent manner.

After capping and tailing, the fully processed hnRNA, now called mRNA, it is transported out of the nucleus for translation.
