DNA in organelles is not arranged innucleosomes.
Which of the following statements best describes a signal peptide?
A.A signal peptide is a short amino acid sequence present at the N-terminus of the majority of newly translated proteins destined for the endomembrane system.
B.A signal peptide is a long amino acid sequence that is present at the C-terminus of a protein destined for the localization in lumen of the mitochondrial.
C.A signal peptide is a glycan that is post-translational added to a protein to target that protein to the proteosome for degradation.
D.A signal peptide is a postranslational modification that adds a lipid to a protein to help anchor the protein to a cellular membrane.
