Assertion : The m RNA attaches itself to the ribosome via its 3^ end. Reason : The m RNA has F-capsular nucleotide and bases of lagging sequence.
Options
- AIf both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but assertion is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
- CIf the assertion is true but the reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
D. If both assertion and reason are false.
Step-by-step solution
The m RNA 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 sequence present on the messenger RNA systems where G-cap is present as in eukaryotes.
