Which of the following accurately describes the role of the Shine-Dalgarno sequence in prokaryotic translation initiation?

It signals the termination of translation by binding to release factors

It facilitates the binding of the ribosome to the 5’ cap of mRNA

It aligns the start codon with the P site of the ribosome by base-pairing with the 16S rRNA

It recruits tRNA molecules to the ribosome for the initiation of translation
