Which of the following can be blocked, if one wants to stop translation of mRNA?
Correct answer: C. Elongation factor
- A. RNA polymerase
- B. Helicase
- C. Elongation factor
- D. Primase
Explanation
mRNAs are usually translated by a series of ribosomes, spaced at intervals of about 100 to 200 nucleotides.Elongation factors are a group of proteins involved in various cellular processes, primarily in protein synthesis during translation. Their primary function is to facilitate the elongation phase of translation, where amino acids are added to the growing polypeptide chain.One of the key elongation factors in translation is called elongation factor

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.
