Correct answer is (b) Translation is carried out in wheat gram or lysate of rabbit reticulocyte cells

The best I can explain: RNA fractionation is carried out and it is followed by a translation of each band in vitro. It is carried out in wheat gram or lysate of rabbit reticuloycte cells. Ribosomes, tRNAs are added in order to carry out the translation with low background. An amino acid is radioactively labelled and thus the polypeptide sequence synthesized is labelled.
