Can someone explain the answer to me? Can someone explain what the Shine-Dalgarno sequence is please

 

[Mommymed]

I'm not sure what the question is, but a shine Delgarno sequence is a sequence about 8-10 base pairs upstream of the start codon (AUG) on a messenger RNA (mRNA) that the ribosomal subunit recognizes and binds to. The sequence is an essential element for translation in prokaryotes.
