Solution
The correct option is A Translation factors According to the central dogma of protein synthesis, the ultimate aim of gene expression is protein synthesis. The DNA produces the mRNA which is read by RNA polymerase to produce functional proteins. Translation factors are the proteins which form a stabilising complex at the initiation point and also regulates the translation by acting as activator or repressor. Translation factors function to coordinate and catalyse the synthesis of polypeptides from mRNA templates by ribosomes. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
