Question
Following binding between the amino acid in the A site on the ribosome and the growing polypeptide chain, the tRNA in the A site:
A) forms a peptide bond with A site of the ribosome.
b) releases the growing polypeptide chain.
c) forms a covalent bond with the E site of the ribosome.
d) moves to the P site of the ribosome.
e) picks up another amino acid from the cytoplasm to add to the growing polypeptide chain.
A) forms a peptide bond with A site of the ribosome.
b) releases the growing polypeptide chain.
c) forms a covalent bond with the E site of the ribosome.
d) moves to the P site of the ribosome.
e) picks up another amino acid from the cytoplasm to add to the growing polypeptide chain.
Explanation / Answer
Following binding between the amino acid in the A site on the ribosome and the growing polypeptide chain, the tRNA in the A site moves to the P site of the ribosome.
Hence, the correct option is (d).
