Solution

The correct answer is b. Eukaryotic Start codon always codes for methionine. This is true because in eukaryotes, the start codon is always AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine. This signals the beginning of translation - the process of converting the information in mRNA into a sequence of amino acids to form a protein.

Question 17Which of the following statements about translation are true.1 pointPost-translational modifications is the binding of repressor proteins to a sequence found on an mRNA molecule.A ribosome has two subunits. The large subunit finds the mRNA to begin translation, while the small subunit has two sites for amino acids to bind.Translation is performed by ribosomes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.Transfer RNA (tRNA) are used to bring the next amino acid to add to the polypeptide chain by matching to the next codon in the mRNA being translated. After the amino acid is added, the tRNA can then be repurposed for a different amino acid and codon pairing.
