Question
what is the role of rrna in translation?
a. it reads mrna and helps form peptide bonds between amino acids.
b. it leaves the nucleus and carries the genetic code to a ribosome.
c. it holds an anticodon on one end and an amino acid on the other end.
d. it combines with the golgi apparatus to form ribosomes.
rRNA (ribosomal RNA) is a component of ribosomes. Ribosomes read mRNA (messenger RNA) and facilitate the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during translation. Option B describes mRNA's role (carrying the genetic code from the nucleus to the ribosome). Option C describes tRNA (transfer RNA) which has an anticodon and carries an amino acid. Option D is incorrect as ribosomes are formed in the nucleolus (not by combining with the Golgi apparatus).
