Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Ribosomes are responsible for transcription
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -False, transcription factors function is not to help move ribosomes along an mRNA. Transcription factors actually serve to switch genes on and off. They thus initiate the process which leads to protein expression. These proteins act in the nucleus while ribosomes are found in the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -The above statement is false. The process of transcription does include mRNA but does not use transfer RNA or ribosomes as those two are used in translation.

Detailed explanation-3: -A ribosome assembly stress response regulates transcription to maintain proteome homeostasis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Translation takes place inside structures called ribosomes, which are made of RNA and protein. Ribosomes organize translation and catalyze the reaction that joins amino acids to make a protein chain.
