During Translation

Question

During translation,
A) many mRNA molecules work with one tRNA molecule and one rRNA molecule to produce a protein.
B) one tRNA molecule works with paired mRNA molecules and many rRNA molecules to produce a protein.
C) strings of bonded tRNA molecules work with one mRNA molecule and one rRNA molecule to produce a protein.
D) one mRNA molecule works with several rRNA molecules and many tRNA molecules to produce a protein.

Accepted Answer

During translation, one mRNA molecule works with several rRNA molecules and many tRNA molecules to produce a protein. The mRNA molecule serves as a template for the sequence of amino acids in the protein, while the rRNA molecules help to form the ribosome, which is the site of protein synthesis. The tRNA molecules carry specific amino acids to the ribosome, where they are added to the growing chain of amino acids to form the protein.
