Choose the wrong statement in the process of protein synthesis.
(A)After uncoiling of the DNA molecule, one strand acts as a template for the formation of mRNA
(B)In the presence of DNA polymerase enzyme, the mRNA is formed based on the triplet codesCorrect
(C)The mRNA that leaves the nucleus reaches the cytoplasm and gets attached to the 30S ribosomal subunit
(D)The amino acids are transferred from the intracellular amino acid pool to the active ribosomes by the tRNA
Answer: (B)
Solution
mRNA is synthesised not by DNA polymerase but by RNA polymerase, which uses the template DNA strand to produce RNA according to the triplet code, so Statement (b)
