The process of translation, whether in prokaryotes or eukaryotes, requires tRNAs, amino acids, ribosomal subunits, and which of the following?
A) polypeptide factors plus ATP
B) polypeptide factors plus GTP
C) polymerases plus GTP
D) SRP plus chaperones
E) signal peptides plus release factor

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of translation requires polypeptide factors, which are proteins that aid in the elongation and termination of the growing polypeptide chain, and GTP, which is a type of energy molecule. Polypeptide factors and GTP help to facilitate the movement of ribosomes along mRNA during translation. A and E are incorrect because ATP and signal peptides are not directly involved in translation, while C and D are also incorrect because polymerases and SRP (signal recognition particles) are not required for translation.
