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

  1. AIf both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
  2. BIf both assertion and reason are true but assertion is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
  3. CIf the assertion is true but the reason is false.
  4. 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.
