Match the following statements with rRNA, mRNA, or tRNA:

a. combines with proteins to form ribosomes

Accepted Answer

All right. Hello everyone. So this question is asking us which of the following statements correctly describes the functions of RRN am RN A and TRN A select all that apply. So here we have four different statements and four different choices labeled A through D proposing which statements are correct. So for this question, I just want to go ahead and discuss each statement individually and decide if they're correct or incorrect. Starting off with. Number one, here we have that MRN A carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome for translation. Now, based on this description statement, one is true, right? Because recall that during the transcription process, we're going from DNA and we're converting DNA into Mrna later in translation, it's MRN A that's converted into the amino acid sequence and later a protein after folding. So because of that, it's fair to say that the MRN A contains the genetic code because it does specify the yeast sequence of amino acids in the protein. Once the MRN A reaches the ribosome, it's going to provide the template or the blueprint essentially for the construction of that protein. So number one is correct. Now, number two says that TRN A brings amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis. This is true, right? Because tr A or transfer R A, if you recall, it plays a role in matching amino acids to the corresponding coons on the MRN. So basically each trn A, each CRN A molecule contains or carries a specific amino acid and it pairs with the appropriate code on, on the MRNA during translation. So TN transfers the amino acid and it brings it to the ribosome. From here, we move on to statement three which says that our RNA is responsible for encoding the genetic information used in protein synthesis. This is not true because as discussed before, it's MRN A that contains the genetic information used in protein synthesis. Now, our RN A stands for riposo RNA and riposo RNA plays a structural role in the ribosome. Now, the ribosome is where protein synthesis is occurring, but it doesnt contain the genetic information. And last but not least we have statement four which says that MRN A binds to amino acids and assembles them into a polypeptide chain. Once again, this is not true, right? Because the role of MRN A is to provide instructions for the protein to be assembled during translation building. The sequence of amino acids is the job of the ribosome. So the ribosome is responsible for protein assembly, right. It's the one establishing the amino acid structure based on the instructions given by MRN A now, trn A is the one that provides the amino acids necessary for the ribosome to do its job. So from here, we can see that only the first two statements are correct, which means that option A is our correct answer and there you have it. So with that being said, thank you so very much for watching and I hope you found this helpful.
