In translation, the initiation complex guided by another _ binds to AUG on the RNA:
Correct answer: C. Initiation factor
- A. Elongation factor
- B. Release factor
- C. Initiation factor
- D. tRNA synthetase
Explanation
Initiation factors are proteins that bind to the small subunit of the ribosome during the initiation of translation, a part of protein synthesis. They are divided into three major groups. Prokaryotic initiation factor, Archaeal initiation factor, and Eukaryotic initiation factor. This initiation complex is essential for the start of protein synthesis, as it helps position the ribosome and initiator tRNA at the correct location on the mRNA.

About Chromosomes
Chromosomes are DNA-protein structures that carry genes and become visible during cell division. Coverage includes chromatin, centromeres, sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, chromosome number, and the distinction between diploid and haploid cells, with links to DNA replication, mitosis and meiosis.
