Question

The important features of Shine Dalgarno Sequence are
(A). Determine Transcription initiation site
(B). Distinct means of determining the translational start site in prokaryote
(C). Complementary to part of the 3' end of 16S rRNA
(D). Termination recognition in prokaryotes
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (B) and (C) only.
• (A) and (B) only.
• (B) and (D) only.
• (C) and (D) only.

Hint:

The Shine-Dalgarno sequence on prokaryotic mRNA base-pairs with the complementary anti-Shine-Dalgarno sequence at the 3' end of the 16S rRNA within the small ribosomal subunit, placing the start codon in the P-site.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A
