A mRNA that does not have a 5' CAP will probably

A) be transported back to the nucleolus

B) bind to the small ribosomal subunit and be degraded

C) bind to the small ribosomal subunit and be translated into protein

D) not bind the small ribosomal subunit and will not be translated into protein

Solutions

Expert Solution

The main functions of the capping:
It regulates the nuclear export
It prevents the degradation of mRNA by exonucleases
It promotes the translation
and it plays a role in 5? proximal intron excision.

So, the answers are D. not bind the small ribosomal subunit and will not be translated into protein.
