Discover the Secrets of Prokaryotic Ribosomes and rRNA in this Quiz!

Ribosomal RNA is responsible for reading the order of amino acids and linking them together during protein synthesis.

Ribosomes are responsible for translation, which is the process cells use to make proteins.

RNA possessing catalytic activity can increase the rate and specificity of phosphodiester bond cleavage and peptide bond synthesis.
