Homework SourseIn translation which of the following occurs last A peptide
In translation, which of the following occurs last?
| A peptide bond is formed. |
| A small ribosomal subunit aligns with an mRNA strand. |
| The large ribosomal subunit binds to the small subunit. |
| An anticodon aligns with a codon. |
Solution
Steps in Translation: The ribosome binds to mRNA and starts matching tRNA anticodon sequences to the mRNA codon sequence. tRNA \"delivers\" its amino acid based on complementary pairing of a triplet code (anticodon) with the triplet code (codon) of the mRNA. The amino acid added enzymatically to the last amino acid forming a peptide bond.
| A peptide bond is formed. |
