Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the role of a ribosome?
A
Link amino acids together
B
Bind messenger RNA
C
Synthesize polypeptides and proteins
D
Make other ribosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The ribosome is universally responsible for synthesizing proteins by translating the genetic code transcribed in mRNA into an amino acid sequence. Ribosomes use cellular accessory proteins, soluble transfer RNAs, and metabolic energy to accomplish the initiation, elongation, and termination of peptide synthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The 30S subunit contains 16S rRNA. The role of ribosomes in protein synthesis is to translate the codons in mRNA and serve as a factory where a growing polypeptide chain is assembled.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protein synthesis Synthesis of new proteins starts in the nucleus, where ribosomes get their instruction to begin the process. Sections of DNA (genes), encoding a specific protein, are copied over to messenger RNA (mRNA) strands in a process called transcription.
