Question 17Which of the following statements about translation are true.1 pointPost-translational modifications is the binding of repressor proteins to a sequence found on an mRNA molecule.A ribosome has two subunits. The large subunit finds the mRNA to begin translation, while the small subunit has two sites for amino acids to bind.Translation is performed by ribosomes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.Transfer RNA (tRNA) are used to bring the next amino acid to add to the polypeptide chain by matching to the next codon in the mRNA being translated. After the amino acid is added, the tRNA can then be repurposed for a different amino acid and codon pairing.

Solution

The following statements about translation are true:

  1. A ribosome has two subunits. The large subunit finds the mRNA to begin translation, while the small subunit has two sites for amino acids to bind. This is true. The large subunit of the ribosome is responsible for the peptidyl transferase activity, which forms peptide bonds between amino acids. The small subunit is where the mRNA binds and is decoded.

  2. Translation is performed by ribosomes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This is also true. Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis in all living cells, including both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

  3. Transfer RNA (tRNA) are used to bring the next amino acid to add to the polypeptide chain by matching to the next codon in the mRNA being translated. After the amino acid is added, the tRNA can then be repurposed for a different amino acid and codon pairing. This is true. tRNA molecules carry amino acids to the ribosome and match them to the appropriate codon on the mRNA.

The statement that post-translational modifications is the binding of repressor proteins to a sequence found on an mRNA molecule is not true. Post-translational modifications refer to the changes made to proteins after they have been synthesized, such as phosphorylation, methylation, and acetylation. The binding of repressor proteins to mRNA is a mechanism of gene regulation, not a post-translational modification.
