Principle Of Inheritance And Variation Question 337

Question: It has been found in many cells that ribosomes occur in chains along mRNA molecules. What is the advantage of this arrangement as compared to a situation in which ribosomes occur singly

Options:

A) Fewer tRNA molecules are used in protein synthesis

B) Polypeptides can be produced more easily

C) A greater variety of polypeptides can be produced

D) Probability of gene mutation occurring is less

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Polypeptide can be produced more easily; when ribosomes occurs in chains then probability of formation of polypeptide is increased because polypeptide is made up of amino acids which are present on tRNA and tRNA attached with ribosomes.
