RNA binds with ribosomal unit during translation in mitochondrial matrix A 30 s
B 50 s
C 60 s
D 40 s
Answers
30S
Explanation:
mitochondrial ribosomes are 70S and RNA binds with smaller ribosomal subunit which is 30S in case of mitochondria.
Answer:
The correct answer is (A) 30s.
Explanation:
Mitochondria are the eukaryotic specific organelles that are responsible for producing energy and acts as a house of many oxidation processes. It is a semi-autonomous organelle which has its own DNA, RNA and some proteins. Its structure and functions are also regulated by the nucleus.
According to endosymbiotic theory, both mitochondria and chloroplast are related to prokaryotes as they possess 70s type ribosomes. And 70s ribosomes are made up of two subunits that are 50s and 30s.
During translation, mtRNA binds to a small subunit of the ribosome (30s) to carry out Mitochondrial protein synthesis.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 30s ribosomal subunit.
