Question

All of the following are associated with the role of ribosomes except

• A. several ribosomes are often attached to and translating the same mRNA
• B. joining amino acids together to form a polypeptide
• C. prevents the anticodon of tRNA from aligning the associated amino acid in the wrong position in the developing strand
• D. no protein synthesis within a cell would occur without ribosomes

Answer 1

The correct option is C prevents the anticodon of tRNA from aligning the associated amino acid in the wrong position in the developing strand

Ribosomes are the cell organelles present in the cytoplasm of an organism. It has two subunits one smaller and the other larger. They help in the process of translation (Protein synthesis). Several ribosomes are attached to the mRNA and the RNA polymerase also attaches to it which helps in the translation of mRNA and results in the formation of respective proteins. They also help in the formation of long polypeptide chains of proteins and joining of many amino acids. Ribosomes are the most important organ for the synthesis of proteins without which no proteins will form. The ribosomes are attached to the lining of rough endoplasmic reticulum which has ribosomes on the surface of it. So, the correct answer is 'prevents the anticodon of tRNA from aligning the associated amino acid in the wrong position in the developing strand'.
