Question

What is the role of small nuclear RNAs in protein synthesis?

(a) It translates genetic code to a specific amino acid

(b) It modifies mRNA molecules prior to protein synthesis

(c) It provides a genetic blueprint for the protein

(d) It catalyzes the process

I have been asked this question in homework.

This interesting question is from Protein Synthesis in portion DNA, RNA and Protein Metabolism of Biochemistry

Answer 1

Right option is (b) It modifies mRNA molecules prior to protein synthesis

For explanation I would say: t-RNA translates genetic code to a specific amino acid.

r-RNA catalyzes the process.

mRNA provides a genetic blueprint for the protein.
