Question
The following is true about peroxisomal proteins:
They are translated via ribosomes analogous to cotranslational translocation processes
They are translated via ribosomes on the peroxisome similar to type I single pass proteins
They are translated in the cytoplasm and transported into the peroxisome as folded proteins
The peroxisome contains its own set of DNA, RNA, and ribosomes for internal translation

Explanation / Answer
Peroxisomes are derived from the endoplasmic reticulum. Peroxisome matrix proteins are translated in the cytoplasm prior to import. They are translated in the cytoplasm and transported into the peroxisome as folded proteins. Option 3 is correct.
