A cell lacking peptidyl transferase would NOT be able to make proteins because
A) N-formyl methionine-charged tRNA would not bind to the initiator codon.
B) peptide bonds between the carboxyl group of the incoming amino acid to the amino group of the growing polypeptide chain would not be catalysed.
C) peptide bonds between the amino group of the incoming amino acid to the carboxyl group of the growing polypeptide chain would not be catalysed.
D) the termination codon would not be recognised.
E) the growing peptide would not interact with the specific tRNA.
