Codons that serve as "stop" signals for translation are recognized by
A)tRNA.
B)release factors.
C)anticodons.
D)translation terminators.
E)aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stop signals in translation are recognized by release factors, which bind to the stop codons and cause the release of the polypeptide chain from the ribosome. tRNA and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are involved in bringing amino acids to the ribosome for translation, while anticodons are involved in the recognition of codons and pairing with complementary codons during translation. Translation terminators are not a recognized term in the field of molecular biology.
