The ribosome is needed for translation of mRNA (a) because it has the enzyme that forms peptide bonds between amino acids (b) because the ribosomal RNA contains the codon which determine the sequence of amino acids in a protein (c) because it contains the enzyme that links the amino acids and tRNA (d) because it has enzyme that removes introns from mRNA (e) all of the above

Step 1
(b) The ribosomal RNA does not contain the codons that determine the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Instead, the mRNA contains the codons, and the ribosome reads them. So, this statement is false. (c) The ribosome does not contain the enzyme that links Show more…

Madhur L.
For each of the following, identify the type of RNA involved (mRNA, rRNA, or tRNA). _____ a. Transports the correct amino acid to the ribosome, using the information encoded in the mRNA. _____ b. Is a major component of ribosomes. _____ c. Specifies the order of amino acids in a protein, using a series of three-base codons, where different amino acids are specified by particular codons. _____ d. Contains a three-base anticodon that pairs with a complementary codon revealed in the mRNA. _____ e. Assists in making the bonds that link amino acids together to make a protein.
