Which RNA type possesses both tRNA-like and mRNA-like properties to rescue stalled ribosomes?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: tmRNA
Transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA) is found in bacteria and some plant organelles. It adds a proteolysis tag to incomplete polypeptides when a ribosome gets stuck on a broken mRNA.
