Answer: mRNA moves through pores in the nuclear membrane

Explanation: nuclear membrane pores permit the passage of mRNA, but only after processing within the nucleus. The non-coding parts of the RNA are deleted (introns), the 5’ end capped to prevent premature degradation, and a string of A nucleotides added at the 3’ end (improves stability).
