Which type of RNA shows enzymatic activity by catalyzing peptide bond formation between amino acids?
A)mRNA
B)tRNA
C)rRNA
D)all types of RNA
E)no RNA shows enzymatic activity

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

rRNA (ribosomal RNA) has been shown to have enzymatic activity and is responsible for catalyzing peptide bond formation between amino acids during protein synthesis. mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, and tRNA (transfer RNA) delivers the amino acids to the ribosome, but neither of these types of RNA has enzymatic activity. Therefore, the correct answer is (C) rRNA.
