KROK 1 2008 – Question 9 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
It was proved that a molecule of immature mRNA (precursor mRNA) contained more triplets than amino acids found in the synthesized protein. The reason for that is that translation is normally preceded by:
- A. Replication
- B. Processing
- C. Initiation
- D. Reparation

Hint
Consider what must be removed from, and added to, a primary RNA transcript in the nucleus before it can leave and be read by ribosomes.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
