What is the function of ribosomes (also known as ribosomal RNA) in protein synthesis?
A) Allows interpretation of the two strands of DNA to determine which is the "sense" strand and which is the "antisense" strand
B) Serves as the coordinator mechanism to allow proper reading of the mRNA and placement of the correct amino acid in the sequence by the tRNAs
C) Allows further processing of synthesized proteins (post-translational modification in order to ensure that the final product is physiologically active)
D) Serves as a transport molecule able to move a specific amino acid to the site of protein synthesis (peptide chain elongation) in the correct sequence
