1. a) Correct
2. b) Incorrect
3. c) Partially correct
4. d) Not applicable

Correct answer: a) Correct

Solution

The statement is true because GTP is required for the formation of the initiation complex during translation, and in prokaryotes, the start codon AUG codes for formyl-methionine (fMet), a modified version of methionine.
