Which of the Following is a Characteristic of P-Bodies

Question

Which of the following is a characteristic of P-bodies?
A)They are mitochondrial foci consisting of RNA-protein complexes.
B)Under stress conditions they typically reduce their sizes.
C)They are aggregates of messenger ribonucleoproteins (mRNPs)and P-body components.
D)They are aggregates of messenger ribonucleoproteins (mRNPs)and P-body components

Accepted Answer

P-bodies are known to be aggregates of messenger ribonucleoproteins (mRNPs) and P-body components, including proteins such as decapping enzymes and exonucleases, as well as RNA degradation machinery. They are not mitochondrial foci, do not necessarily reduce in size under stress conditions, and are not solely composed of RNA-protein complexes.
