What is the correct order of events that occur during the elongation stage of translation?
1) the appropriate aminoacyl-tRNA with complementary anticodon fills the A site
2) the growing peptide on the peptidyl-tRNA in the P site is transferred to an aminoacyl-tRNA to make a peptide that is now one amino acid longer
3) translocation occurs in which the mRNA slides along the ribosome one codon in the 5' direction.

Question

The correct order starts with the aminoacyl-tRNA entering the A site (1), followed by the peptide bond formation between the new amino acid and the growing chain (2), and ends with the ribosome moving along the mRNA, which is translocation (3).
