Question

which part of a protein is synthesized by a ribosome first? choose one: a. the c-terminus b. it depends on the protein. c. the n-terminus d. it depends on where the ribosome binds to the mrna. e. it depends on whether the cell is eukaryotic or prokaryotic.

Answer 1

Answer:C

Explanation:This initiator tRNA always carries the amino acid methionine (in bacteria, a modified form of methionine—formylmethionine—is used) so that all newly made proteins have methionine as the first amino acid at their N-terminal end, the end of a protein that is synthesized first.
