Protein synthesis:
A) requires a preexisting copy of the protein that is to be synthesized.
B) occurs at specialized ribosomes dedicated to synthesizing a single, specific protein.
C) occurs in generalized ribosomes that can synthesize any protein.
D) requires tRNA as the template containing the genetic information encoding the protein.
E) requires rRNA as the template containing the genetic information encoding the protein.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Protein synthesis occurs in generalized ribosomes that can synthesize any protein. The genetic information encoding the protein is contained in mRNA, not tRNA or rRNA, and the ribosomes responsible for protein synthesis are not specialized for a specific protein.
