In both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, mRNA has introns that need to be spliced out before the mRNA can be translated into protein. True False
Adi S.
True or False: During translation, the ribosome's enzymatic properties link amino acids together to form a polypeptide. True or False: Translation begins when the DNA in a chromosome unwinds and one strand is used as a template to make a pre-mRNA molecule. True or False: The codon encoding the amino acid methionine functions as a start codon when it occurs at the beginning of a gene. True or False: Each amino acid is encoded by only one mRNA codon.
True or false? Only eukaryotic mRNA is processed before translation. 2. Translation of eukaryotic mRNA can occur in the nucleus after exons are spliced together. 3. Translation occurs in ribosomes only in prokaryotes.
