Which of the following is involved in ensuring that the small ribosomal unit is properly aligned on the mRNA
A) the anticodon
B) the codon
C) the Shine-Dalgarno sequence
D) the Svedberg sequence

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Shine-Dalgarno sequence is a ribosomal binding site on bacterial mRNA that helps to properly align the small ribosomal subunit to initiate translation. The anticodon (A) and codon (B) are involved in the actual decoding of the mRNA during translation, while the Svedberg sequence (D) refers to the sedimentation rate of a particle and is not directly related to translation.
