Question

The three major forms of RNA (mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA) interact during translation.

Compared to the average stability of mRNA in E. coli, is mRNA in a typical human cell more stable or less stable? Why?

Accepted Answer

Hi, everyone. Let's take a look at this practice problem together which R N A type is crucial to decipher the genetic data carried by M R N A. The answer options are a small nuclear R N A or S N R N A B transfer R N A or T R N A C ribosome R N A or R R N A. And option D none of the above recall that in order for translation to occur, we must decipher M R N A. So that is deciphering the codons into their corresponding amino acids. So that is necessary. Now option A, the S N R N A recall is a part of the spoon. Now the spice is responsible for splicing pre M R N A to make mature M R N A for translation. So option A is not deciphering genetic data. We can eliminate S N R N A. Now both options B and C T R N A and R R N A are important R N A types involved in translation R R N A along with ribosome proteins make up the ribosome. And we should know that the ribosome is the necessary machinery. In order to build proteins. Recall that T R N A is known as an adapter molecule because it bridges the relationship between the nucleotides on the M R N A and the amino acids of a polypeptide sequence. Now, the T R N A has an anti codon sequence that is complementary to the codon sequence of the M R N A. And each T R N A carries a specific amino acid to the ribosome according to those codon anticodon sequences. And it ensures that the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide sequence. So the correct answer is option B transfer T R N A. All right, everyone. I hope you found this helpful and I'll see you soon for the next practice problem.
