If three ribosomes are attached to a single mRNA starting at different points along the length of the mRNA, then how many similar proteins would be formed?

Correct answer: C. No similar proteins

  • A. 2
  • B. 3
  • C. No similar proteins
  • D. 1

Explanation

The ribosomes must start from the start codon in order to begin translating the protein. If they all bind at different points, then they would not be induced into making any similar proteins
