Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The function of ____ is to combine with proteins to form ribosomes.
A
rRNA
B
tRNA
C
mRNA
D
DNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the cytoplasm, ribsomal RNA (rRNA) and protein combine to form a nucleoprotein called a ribosome. The ribosome serves as the site and carries the enzymes necessary for protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is described as the type of RNA that associates with proteins in order to create ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -How do you make a ribosome? Some chromosomes have sections of DNA that encode ribosomal RNA, a type of structural RNA that combines with proteins to make the ribosome. In the nucleolus, new ribosomal RNA combines with proteins to form the subunits of the ribosome.

Detailed explanation-4: -The primary function of rRNA is in protein synthesis – in binding to messenger RNA and transfer RNA to ensure that the codon sequence of the mRNA is translated accurately into amino acid sequence in proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -rRNAs combine with proteins and enzymes in the cytoplasm to form ribosomes, which act as the site of protein synthesis. These complex structures travel along the mRNA molecule during translation and facilitate the assembly of amino acids to form a polypeptide chain.
