Which RNA molecule brings amino acids to the ribosome?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Shine-Dalgarno sequence
The Shine-Dalgarno sequence aligns the mRNA with the ribosome by base-pairing with 16S rRNA in the small subunit. This ensures correct positioning of the start codon at the P site.
