The following statements describe translation. Determine if the statement applies to only prokaryotes, to only eukaryotes, or to both.

a. The first tRNA used is charged with a formyl methionine
b. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm
c. Requires a Shine-Dalgarno sequence to be present on the mRNA
d. Translation occurs cotranscriptionally
e. Initiation requires a 7-methylguanosine cap on the mRNA
f. Requires a release factor to termination translation

Respuesta :

The statements for procaryotes are 'the first tRNA is charged with formyl methionine', 'requires a Shine-Dalgarno sequence' and 'translation occurs cotranscriptionally'. The statement for eukaryotes is 'initiation requires a 7-methylguanosine cap', while the statements for both are 'translation occurs in the cytoplasm' and 'requires a release factor for termination'.

N-Formylmethionine is a molecule derived from methionine in which a formyl group is added to the amino group.

The Shine-Dalgarno sequence is a ribosomal binding site in prokaryotic mRNA.

Coupled transcription-translation is a prokaryotic process by which a ribosome start to translate a nascent mRNA.

In eukaryotes, the mRNA suffers processing by which a 5' cap is added to the first nucleotide during transcription.

Moreover, also eukaryotes, a poly Adenine (A) tail is added at the 3' end of the mRNA.

Translation occurs in the cytoplasm of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells (prokaryotes don't have cell nuclei).
