Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Accuracy in the translation of mRNA into the primary structure of a polypeptide depends on both the specific bonding of the anticodon of tRNA to the codon of mRNA and the correct attachment of amino acids to their respective tRNAs. This ensures that the correct amino acid is placed in the correct position during protein synthesis. The binding of ribosomes to mRNA and the shape of the A and P sites play important roles in the process of translation, but do not directly contribute to the accuracy of the protein sequence.
