MCQ
Select the correct statement regarding protein synthesis.
  • When the small subunit of the ribosome encounters an $mRNA$ the process of translation begins.
  • B
    Peptidase catalyses the formation of peptide bond.
  • C
    $UTRs$ are present between the start codon and stop codon.
  • D
    At the end of translation, the release factor binds to the initiation codon.

Answer

Correct option: A.
When the small subunit of the ribosome encounters an $mRNA$ the process of translation begins.
a
Peptidase catalyses the breaking of peptide bond. The $UTRs$ are present at both $5 \phi$-end (before start codon) and $3'-end$ (after stop codon). At the end of translation release factor binds to the stop codon, terminating translation and releasing the complete polypeptide from the ribosome.
