Question

The following are a list of regulatory sites that are partly identified by looking at sequences. Which of them are found in RNA as well as DNA? A. Promoter B. Operator C. Ribosome binding site D. Start codon

Answer 1

C. Ribosome binding site

Answer 2

@frogs29

I'm under the impression that ribosomal binding sites are only found on mRNA.

Ribosomes bind to mRNA, during Translation,
in order to bring in amino acids.

But as far as I know, ribosomes don't bind to DNA,
because their job is to translate RNA.

So, I can't see why DNA would have a ribosomal binding site.

On the other hand, I honestly am unsure of the answer to this question.
I've been researching it for a little while, but I haven't found anything conclusive.

If you're sure it's C,
could you tell us where we would find a ribosomal binding site, on DNA?

Answer 3

I was always told and taught that DNA did have a ribosomal binding site.

Answer 4

Alright, I'll keep searching.
