E)the ribosome moving three more nucleotides along the mRNA moleculE.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Translocation is the process by which the ribosome moves three nucleotides along the mRNA molecule, allowing the next codon to be read and the next aminoacyl-tRNA to bind to the A site of the ribosome. This process continues until a stop codon is reached, and the newly synthesized protein is released. Therefore, option E is the correct choice.
