Question

Deadenylation,decapping and 5' -> 3' degradation occur within small,transient cytoplasmic granules called _________.
A)P-granules
B)P-coats
C)decappers
D)P-bodies
E)degradators

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

P-bodies are small, transient cytoplasmic granules where mRNA decay processes like deadenylation, decapping, and 5'->3' degradation occur. Choice A, P-granules, are specific to germ cells and are not involved in mRNA decay. Choice B, P-coats, is not a recognized term in this context. Choice C, decappers, is not a term used to describe cytoplasmic granules involved in mRNA decay. Choice E, degradators, is not a recognized term in this context.
