What is the function of ribosomes?
A
Transcription
B
Translation
C
Cell division
D
Transport proteins
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: -Translation. Translation is the second step in protein synthesis. It allows the cell to read the message in mRNA and create proteins. During translation, the ribosome attaches to the mRNA and reads the sequence in groups of three nucleotides called codons.

Detailed explanation-3: -During decoding, the ribosome translates the sequence of codons in an mRNA into the amino acid sequence of a protein. A codon exposed in the A site is recognized by aa-tRNAs, which in bacteria are delivered to the ribosome in a ternary complex with EF-Tu and GTP.
