Question

Which statement best describes the relationship of the small ribosomal subunit to the mRNA strand?

They are both composed of RNA and protein.

The small subunit has an mRNA binding site.

They both read the RNA codon sequence to assemble the polypeptide chain.

The small subunit assembles in the nucleus where RNA is transcribed.

Answer 1

which one do you think?

Answer 2

well hello again:)
i think its the last one

Answer 3

i remember ribosomes played a key role in assembly

Answer 4

The small subunit binds to the mRNA as one of the first steps to start translation.

Answer 5

And if I remember correctly, the subunits are made in the nucleoli.

Answer 6

oh well then it must be b, right?

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

or not, since the ribosomes bind to the mrna, meaning that the mRNA should have the binding site?

Answer 9

I always hear the binding site referred to as on the small ribosomal subunit.

Answer 10

great, thanks
