Question:medium
A sequence in an mRNA that is required for binding bacterial ribosomes is called:
A sequence in an mRNA that is required for binding bacterial ribosomes is called:
Show Hint
Shine-Dalgarno sequence = bacterial mRNA’s ”ribosomal handshake.”
Updated On: Feb 11, 2026
- Short tandem repeat
- Long tandem repeat
- Shine-Dalgarno
- Ras
Show Solution
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The bacterial Shine-Dalgarno sequence, a ribosomal binding site upstream of the start codon, aligns the ribosome with mRNA to initiate translation.
