Question

Which process takes place on ribosomes?

• A. Transformation
• B. Translation
• C. Transcription
• D. Translocation
• E. Replication

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Replication and transcription are the processes of DNA and RNA synthesis respectively and occur in the nucleus. Translation is the process of protein synthesis and occurs on ribosomes where mRNA come from the nucleus and attached to the ribosome and in the presence of ribozyme and tRNA in ribosome mRNA translates the codon for protein synthesis. Transformation is the transfer of genetic material between bacterial strains without establishing a physical contact. Rearrangement of the chromosomal segment between two nonhomologous chromosomes is translocation and occurs in the nucleus. The correct answer is B.
