Select correct statement about protein synthesis. (A) Translation begins when mRNA attaches to small subunit of ribosome. (B) Peptidase catalyses formation of peptide bond. (C) UTRs are present between start and stop codons. (D) At the end of translation, release factor binds to intiation codon.

• The cellular factory responsible for synthesising proteins is the ribosome. The ribosome consists of structural

RN A s

and about

80

different proteins.
• In its inactive state, it exists as two subunits; a large subunit and a small subunit.
• When the small subunit encounters an

m RN A

, the process of translation of the

m RN A

to protein begins

Q. Select correct statement about protein synthesis.

Translation begins when $m RN A$ attaches to small subunit of ribosome.

Peptidase catalyses formation of peptide bond.

$U TR s$ are present between start and stop codons.

At the end of translation, release factor binds to intiation codon.
