The shine-dalgarno sequence in bacteria a) is a purine-rich consensus sequence found in the 5ʹ utr of the mrna b) is a pyrimidine-rich consensus sequence found in the 3ʹ utr of the mrna c) is a purine-rich consensus sequence found

The correct answer is a) is a purine-rich consensus sequence found in the 5ʹ UTR of the mRNA.

Explanation:

The mRNA of bacteria contains Shine- Dalgarno sequence and initiation codon which together make up the ribosomal binding site. The Shine-Dalgarno sequence(5'- AGGAGGU-3') is a short polypurine sequence that is found at 5' end of UTR of the mRNA.  

Shine-Dalgarno sequence is found 3-10 nucleotides upstream to start codon(AUG). This sequence is complementary to a region of the 16S rRNA component of small ribosomal units found in bacteria.  

So Shine-Dalgarno sequence play an important role in the attachment of small ribosomal subunit of bacteria and recognition of start codon. So the right answer is a.

the correct answer is (
