Ribosomal RNA _______

  • A.contributes to the structure of ribosomes
  • B.adapts the genetic code to protein structure
  • C.transfers the DNA code to the ribosome
  • D.provides the master code for amino acids

Answer: A

Correct answer: contributes to the structure of ribosomes

Ribosomal RNA is a structural and catalytic component of the ribosome: with the ribosomal proteins it forms the two subunits, and it is the rRNA itself, not any protein, that catalyses peptide bond formation. Carrying the code from DNA is the job of mRNA, and matching codons to amino acids that of tRNA.
