Use this list of events in translation to answer the questions that follow.
1. A tRNA molecule enters the A site of a ribosome and binds to an mRNA codon.
2. A tRNA with the amino acid methionine binds mRNA, and the large ribosomal subunit becomes part of the ribosome.
3. mRNA binds the ribosome's small subunit.
4. An amino acid from a tRNA in the P site is attached to the tRNA in the A site.
5. A tRNA with an amino acid is released from the A site.
-Which step is not part of translation?
A) 3
B) 1
C) 4
D) 2
E) 5

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Step 5 describes the release of a tRNA with an amino acid from the A site, which does not occur in translation. Instead, the tRNA moves from the A site to the P site after peptide bond formation.
