After bounding to the mRNA eukaryotic ribosome scans the entire mRNA until it encounters a start codon. Correct Answer True

The eukaryotic ribosome is recruited to the mRNA by the 5’ cap. The guanine residue of the 5’ cap is connected to the 5’ end of the mRNA through three phosphate groups that recognizes and recruits the ribosome. Once bound to the mRNA, the ribosome moves in a 5’→3’ direction until it encounters a 5’…….AUG…….3’ start codon by a process called scanning.
