Once a peptide has been formed between the amino acid attached to the tRNA in the P site and the amino acid associated with the tRNA in the A site, which process on the list occurs next?
A) initiation
B) translocation
C) reading of the next codon of mRNA
D) the codon- anticodon hydrogen bonds holding the tRNA in the A site are broken

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After a peptide bond is formed between the amino acids on the P and A site tRNAs, the ribosome undergoes translocation to shift the tRNAs to the P and E sites respectively, and expose the next codon of mRNA for decoding by a new tRNA in the newly vacant A site.
