Questions and Answers

Which of the following roles does ribosomal RNA (rRNA) not directly participate in during the translation process?

  • Catalyzing peptide bond formation
  • Carrying amino acids to the ribosome (correct)
  • Acting as a scaffold for proteins to form ribosomes
  • Ensuring the proper alignment of the mRNA and tRNAs

    • What is the main function of the promoter in the transcription process?

  • Initiating the unwinding of the DNA helix
  • Enabling the binding of RNA polymerase to DNA (correct)
  • Allowing the binding of tRNA to mRNA
  • Terminating the transcription process

    • What ensures the proper start of the protein synthesis in an mRNA molecule?

  • RNA polymerase binding site
  • Specific triplet near the 5’-end (correct)
  • Stop codon at the 3’ end
