Chloroplast localization signals consist of two adjacent signal peptides, one for targeting the proteins to the stromaportion of the chloroplast before being cleaved and the other for targeting the remaining portion of the proteins to the thylakoids.

Chloroplast localization signals consist of two adjacent signal peptides, one for targeting the proteins to the stromaportion of the chloroplast before being cleaved and the other for targeting the remaining portion of the proteins to the thylakoids. Correct Answer True

Localization signals targeting to the nucleus are variable in length (seven to forty-one residues) and are found in the internal region of the proteins. They typically consist of one or two stretches of basic residues with a consensus motif K(K/R)X(K/R). Nuclear signal sequences are not cleaved after protein transport.
