Question

Which of the following cellular structures reads the sequence of codons in mRNA and uses them to build a protein.(BRAINLIEST)

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is- C) Ribosome.

Ribosome is a specialized cellular machinery ( made up of ribosomal RNA and proteins), which is present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

It acts as a site for the process of protein synthesis as it reads the codon sequence ( a sequence of three nucleotide in mRNA that codes for an amino acid) present in mRNA ( messenger RNA) and utilizes it in the process called translation ( formation of protein from mRNA).

As per the specific codon sequence of the mRNA, it links the corresponding amino acids together, which results in the formation of specific protein ( polypeptide).

Thus, option C) is the right answer.
