During the translation of mRNA molecules, the new polypeptides are often directed to specific parts of the cell by the presence or absence of short sequences of amino acids called signal peptides. What would you expect to find in the polypeptide that will eventually fold to become RNA polymerase?

Answer: An internal signal peptide

Explanation:

An internal signal peptide also known as signal sequence, targeting, transit peptide et cetera is usually a 16-30 amino acids.

This is present at the N-terminal of the newly formed proteins which are destined towards the secretory pathway.

This protein has the ability to get modified and produced in the form of enzymes or proteins.

These proteins include those who reside in the Golgi body or endoplasmic reticulum.
