Translation and Regulation - Medical Science

Q1:

Which of the following act as the blueprint or template for the process of protein synthesis that takes place on ribosomes?

A rRNA

B DNA

C tRNA

D mRNA

ANS:D - mRNA

Protein synthesis in ribosome is called translation. During translation the ribosome binds to the mRna and reads along it. The information (codon) read from mRna is then transferred to tRna and then amino acids coded for are synthesized.
