Assertion: mRNA attaches itself to ribosome via 3' end
Reason: mRNA has F-capsular nucleotide and basis for lagging sequence.

A

If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is correct explanation of the assertion .

B

If both the assertion and reason are true but reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion .

C

If the assertion is true but the reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The mRNA attaches itself to the small subunit (30s) of the ribosome via its 5' end. This attachment is assisted by the G-cap nucleotide and bases of sequences present on the messenger RNA systems where G-cap is present as in eukaryotes .
