Question 10 (1 point)
What is the role of tRNA in translation?
Question 10 options:
It brings together two subunits of a ribosome.
It couples an amino acid with aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase.
It helps fold up the finished polypeptide chain.
It catalyzes peptidyl transferase activity.
It binds to an mRNA codon and carries the corresponding amino acid.

Explanation / Answer
9.
Function of a ribosome is to hold mRNA and tRNAs in the correct positions to enable translation.
10.
The role of tRNA in translation is that, It binds to an mRNA codon and carries the corresponding amino acid.
11.
The ribosome reaches a stop codon signals the termination of translation
12.
A peptide bond forms between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxylic group of another.
