Accuracy in the translation of mRNA into the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide depends on specificity in which of the following characteristics?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The accuracy of translation depends on the specificity of the bonding between the anticodon on tRNA and the codon on mRNA, as well as the specificity of amino acid attachment to tRNAs. This ensures that the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain. The binding of ribosomes to mRNA and the shape of the A and P sites of ribosomes can affect the efficiency of translation, but specificity in these characteristics is not essential for accuracy of translation.
